[quote user="dmikee"] <p>Another way to do this: Build your rr on redwood fence boads supported by concrete blocks every 6 ft or so. (nail redwood lath to the edge of each fence board for stability) Then staple wire mesh to the edge and trowel on stucco. It'll take two coats to make it look neat and make sure it is very irregular. Crumple up aluminum foil to create rock hill sides. Then just paint with exterior latex and sprinkle on some dirt, ground foam, real rocks, etc. </p><p>Way cheaper than stone, landscape blocks and tons of fill. It raises the entire RR at least 10" off the ground but it can go anywhere you want it to go. And you can reach it from both sides. Then cover all the intervening ground with walk-on bark (over landscape cloth) and plant ornamental and scale plants, even a few small real trees for shade. </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>You have pics of this?</p><p>Toad</p>
