wilmarosebud's blog: Redoing the base around the palm

Posted on Aug 27, 2018 6:34 PM

The big project for the past week has been to enlarge the landscaped base of the palm tree. It has been bursting at the seams for the past year and I decided it was time. I had been putting it off because I knew I would have to buy new border pieces that would make a larger circle, and more rock to fill in said circle.

First I had to dig out the old rock. (you can see where the border has been pushed apart)

Next there was the digging out the sod to set the new border pieces in.

Make sure the circle is right size and the depth is good.

Lay down the fabric liner.

Finally, fill in with rocks.

And now I can set out the fun little fairy, scary garden. (Or whatever mini-garden of the season I might want to place there)
