Japanese Maple


I decided to enlarge this planter by the width of my little shrub rake. The top photo is my mark. Excavation of the gravel screenings was very easy with the garden spade. I added extra material which I took from areas on the patio where I rake the screenings up for use in projects like this. It is my little quarry.
I ended up with a base for the new wall which is much improved over the previous.
