Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jan 08, 2011 2:16 pm Just wanting to see what others have done around their rotary clothes line? Was not sure about just grass and a path, would love to see different examples of what others have done. Our old house (rental), had crushed limestone rocks, but I can just see the kids (3y/o + 4y/o) throwing them all over the yard Any other good ideas? Re: Show me your clothes line landscaping ;) 2Jan 08, 2011 2:31 pm I made a mosaic on a couple of standard paving slab and surrounded it with pavers.

Re: Show me your clothes line landscaping ;) 3Jan 08, 2011 3:20 pm What a great idea for a thread topic. I'm going to subscribe and see what people have to share. A lot of people on here have wall lines or those lines that just pull out or are set up when they are needed. It will be good to see what those of us with rotary lines can do. Ours is most definitely in the "before" stage at the moment but hopefully soon it will look a bit better. We need a retaining wall done first and our retaining wall man is coming out on Monday to sort out what we need done. I'm just hoping it's not a lot more expensive than what was originally quoted about 18 months ago. We might even get our driveway done while he is here. hopefully it will look a bit nicer than this Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Years ago some friends of ours created a circular paving area surrounding the line. They added some shade cloth to the top and used it as an additional courtyard. I don't have pictures unfortunately Theirs was done with leftover bricks and the line was in the centre. It looked quite nice. A bit like the picture at the top of this page in the link below. http://www.heathersgardens.co.uk/id5.html Re: Show me your clothes line landscaping ;) 5Jan 08, 2011 4:08 pm Just a path here, of similar construction to the others around the house.

Dichondra silver falls against the fence. When the line is folded, you barely see it. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i18/kerrynw/Back_after_1_1.jpg Plants have grown a bit now: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i18/kerrynw/IMG_0759_1.jpg Close up http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i18/kerrynw/IMG_0758_1_1.jpg Re: Show me your clothes line landscaping ;) 7Jan 08, 2011 5:17 pm i too will watch this post with interest as we have just installed a new clothes line but we are few issues to sort out first like getting the bobcat to fix the side bank so we don't need a retaining wall.But was thinking about paving in cicular patter you can buy the mold of ebay and do it yourself also going to do this with the paving buy the mold finished building 40 square home on 5 acres with perry homes.working on the landscaping just finished pool deck with ://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2217 Hi everyone, Looking for some advise.
