I absolutely love that recycled glass! Our daughter and her husband just replaced their river rock in their front yard because people kept mistaking it for a path to their front door D'Oh! D'Oh! D'Oh!

Karen, unfortunately they have replaced the river rock with a regular walk. I'm sorry I didn't see the recycled glass before. I could have passed it on to them. I'll try to see if I can find a picture of the new walk, but I don't think she sent us one.

Nothing we have used has lasted as long nor stayed as pristine as the glass mulch.

Sorry I misunderstood, Jean. That must have been hard for people walking the riverrock to the front door!

@plantmanager Actually the river rock wasn't a walkway, but some people didn't realize that and our kids were afraid someone would get injured because of their own stupidity. I was just sorry I didn't see the beautiful glass which would have looked like a stream flowing through the yard.

Yes, the glass would have been wonderful! I'm trying to figure out a place for it in our yards.

The kids could do this easily. We have plenty of logs we van cut for the backs. I think I would seal or paint a bright color for kids room if it ends up there.

Isn't it lovely? People pay so much to rent the containers for 4 hours ..and a fortune for the cut flowers at weddings...this is so very lovely and nobody tosses it out or shelves it only to be rented later. And the flowers are permanent for a brides garden. Win..win..win..
