The Turn-Arounds at each end of the Walking Trail

The Walking Trail Loop nearest the house features a lower eleveated planter than the far end. The center of the loop has three trees and various shrubs and plants that Pam chose.

All of the stone we used in creating the Walking Trail came from a rock quarry in Blount County. Pam and I chose slate colored stone. Yes, slate is a color. It is a dark shade of gray with earthy undertones. The color is named after slate rock, which is lighter in color than charcoal, and which often contains touches of red, blue, and brown. As a tertiary color, slate is an equal mix of purple and green pigments.
