What happens here
To complete the aesthetic transformation seen in the video, fill the newly constructed raised planter with appropriate high-quality potting soil. Plant a variety of suitable greenery, such as the vibrant green and red foliage (like Coleus or Impatiens) showcased in the video, considering sun exposure and climate. Next, apply a layer of landscape mulch around the base of the new steps and planter, as well as in any adjacent garden beds. This helps suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and adds a neat, finished look. Finally, thoroughly clean the entire area, removing any construction debris, dust, or material off-cuts.
Goal: Enhance the visual appeal of the new entryway with plants and mulch, and complete the project with a thorough cleanup.
