Create Landscape Beds and Plantings

Well, charcoal, but same thing. #hardscapebrotherhood #landscaper #landscaping #Unilock
What happens here
Around the newly installed paver walkway, create landscape beds as seen in the video, especially near the house and shed. Use the Brussels border pavers to define the edges of these beds, setting them in concrete if a permanent, clean line is desired. Fill the beds with a suitable landscape fabric to suppress weeds, followed by a layer of decorative gravel (e.g., river rock or crushed stone, as shown). Plant small shrubs or perennials that are appropriate for your climate and the amount of sunlight the bed receives. The video shows small green bushes in the gravel beds.
Goal: Integrate softscaping elements to enhance the walkway's aesthetics and function.
