my old man landscaped his back garden that had a large expanse of concrete.
He used timber sleepers to mark out 'gardens' & filled them with stones of
varying sizes. He planted various plants in pots that are set within the
'gardens' and surrounded by the stones. There is no soil apart from in the
pots. The plants cam be changed periodicly as he desires but the whole
effect is one of having gardens, even though he perhaps more accurately made
'features'.

Broke up the large expanse of concrete & he is happy with it. Everything can
be easily stripped away back to bare concrete is needed.


I like that idea...will contemplate something like this. thanks
