Stacked Landscape Paver Raised Bed Concept

In case you are looking to make a more permanent vegetable or flower bed without some masonry knowledge then this next one might give you some ideas.


According to the posting, A Vegetable Garden For Everyone, the cost to do this was $110 for the blocks.  That seems about right since these landscape pavers are anywhere from $2.50 - $4.50 each from what I've seen.

Here are some of the take aways I see:
  • Even though the fence looks like it is meant to enclose the garden area, it gave me the idea that you could put a fence / trellis down the center of the bed.
  • The 2 layers of stone seem to provide enough soil for planting.
  • One thing that might help would be to put down a weed barrier and some type of mulch, either wood chips or gravel.
