Our original plan was to use something like flagstones for the front walk - however our time was limited as well as their budget and we opted for the stone dust. If, or when, they decide to add the flagstones the stone dust will be perfect as a base :) But then we needed a few stones to give them access to the front lawn and bench area without stepping in the beds or having to go all the way around to the driveway. When I was visiting my mother I found the perfect "stones". She had dug up flagstones recently and found a whole stack of thick granite blocks under them! After convincing her to let us have a few for Emily's garden, we found three which were the perfect size to span the bed and easily walk through to the bench :) Heucheras planted on the right, Astilbe and more Heucheras on the left with a burgundy Threadleaf Japanese Maple ('Inaba Shidare' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/77192/).
