hi everyone, for my birthday, my OH dug me a pond. Its getting pretty established now and looks fab, but we've not been able to find any stones to edge it with - any suggestions ?

I know where there's a huge pile of field hewn yellow sandstone going free if you fancy liberating it?

It's Rovvrem way... :thumbsup:

there's a stone supplier at woodhouse mill, just past the lights, on the right hand side as you're going out of town :thumbsup:

It's a pile that the farmer has pulled from the field by the East Bawtry Road.

Temptingly next to a hole in the hedge AND on a handy lay-by :thumbsup:

Allsorts of shapes & sizes. You might even be doing him/her a favour by relocating a bit :D

Hmmm, please don't forget to ask the farmer for permission to liberate his sandstone... I don't want an angry farmer on here asking where he can get stones to edge his pond with :hihi: :P

OK, just to add to this.

This stone I mentioned, anytime now the whole lot is going to be removed as 'they' are widening this stretch of the dual carriageway & already bollards have gone up.

It is possible to still access the stone at quieter times like weekends & early mornings/ dusk
:thumbsup:
