I wish I was in the demo business just for all the cool stuff you can get when you tear a building down. My dad built his shop completely with recycled I-beams that he got from tearing down metal buildings. I never get lucky enough to get anything from a torn down building! I love recycled stuff too!

We don't have any real native rock here. I saw a beautiful retaining wall done of broken concrete. It was planted in succulents, and was really pretty. Also, I would plant a little groundcover that is pretty tough between the rocks. Something like dwarf mondo grass, or creeping Jenny would look really nice. Everything we do seems to be recycling. My husband built 3 arbors from corral board that we took off a client's patio cover. We built a shade house from old cypress siding boards. That cypress lasts and lasts. Our outdoor kitchen has a brick floor of bricks we got from a burned building. Our shower in the back yard is sheltered by pretty screen doors that we use to trellis butterfly vine, for privacy.
