Very 'spendy' I'm afraid. It's some sort of flagstone and I had to get an expert to do it. He had to do the whole wall by himself as everyone has their own way of stacking wall and no two do it alike. That planting is by no means mature by the way. The ligularias and ferns will get much bigger and their are climbing evergreen hydrangeas on the fence that are only about 4 feet high - they are the shrubby things - but not at all hardy.

How deep is your planting area tcs?

This is another very narrow strip that I did with ferns, hellebores, carex, kurume azalea, etc. You'd have to substitute plants in your area - but a few rocks every once in awhile breaks things up nicely.
