Building a flower bed retaining wall



Part two of my front yard makeover was to build a flower bed. Beside our front step was a huge drop. So I wanted to build a retaining wall to fill with dirt and bring it level so I could plant flowers. I measured it out and went to Home Depot and found the stone I wanted. I spent about $200 between the stone and wet saw rental. I have to say it looks damn good to me. The hardest part was using sand and stuff to level the first row. After that it went up so smoothly.

Finished. Love it!
