Yard Bridge

We’ve our own bridge from nowhere
And to nowhere it goes
Why it is even there
I’m sure only Gabry knows

Ok watering restrictions and the actual cost of water led to eliminating a 300 square foot portion of lawn (still have about 2,000 square feet) and turning it into more of a xeriscape garden area.

We spent about 2.5 days planning an overall layout, designing a bridge, procuring the material, building the bridge, removing the grass, putting in a dry stream bed, cutting flagstone for a border, and finishing with mulch and small boulders. The pictures show the progression over the couple of days.
