La Guerche has just had a small face-lift opposite our house. As we watched the workmen go about the job from our window we had been curious as to the final outcome.
They removed the existing paving and filled it with hardcore awaiting a top coating. They added some white cobbles for effect and created some planting areas, all very nice!
They then covered the planted areas with a coating of straw mulch and put in a top coat of compressed sand (?). As to the longevity of this - time will tell!
.
There will no doubt mixed opinions in the village as to the work but this and the new planters as you enter the village as positive.
Nice work... and probably easier to maintain.... I think it looks very nice...
