@ Rob : Thanks Rob. Glad you like the display. I'd love to see what you did with the concrete blocks. Be nice if you could post some pics.


Here's how I used the concrete blocks. Round, square and rectangles covered with stucco but unpainted. Very sturdy - up over 10 years.
My bushes need a bit of trimming.

Some others - they get a bit moldy from the sprinklers so once in a while I pressure wash them. I also mix them with wood pedestals for variety. It adds to the garden design. For the pedestals behind the pool I actually made a form and cast my own tops with concrete. That was a lot of work so for the next ones I used pre-made landscape pavers available at home garden centers in the USA. the pavers are a bit more brittle but that was a problem only once.

Here is some pics of mine. Some time I asked about Chimney Liners. Well here they are. The decorative cinder blocked I found on a pallet in the parking lot of my local nursery. They used them for displays and were selling them for $1.00 each.

I've not really used the garden...only so far as to have a display area. There are many Japanese style plants, lanterns etc in the rest of the garden but this is my own way of enjoying my trees.
