@ 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.



A couple more.

Hi Rob, Beautiful trees and lovely display.

Crikey Faisal, well done mate! I thought my garden looked ok until now

Looking forward to seeing you (and your trees!) at Burrs!

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.








The trees are still babies as I am a novice and the oldest is only been a bonsai for 2 years

YOU,,Have built a very beautiful garden..the trees look so very well taken care of..I have just one question with so many trees how often do you work on them???it must take non stop pruning.wireing ect. i would really like to know...great job really nice..john

Okaaaay....

Well.....

I'm back in my chair - didn't realize how hard the floor was till I hit it. Thank you all for such beautiful images of your gardens. Very inspirational and most kind of you to share with us. Wow....

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.
