My neighbor had a lot of half bricks that were broken, so I also used some to create a border along the front to prevent the dymondia from encroaching into this area. I also used a few more and created an area to step on so I can work in the pots.

I now have to find some nice large pavers or stone to place on top of the pillars to cap it off. Then I will paint it with buttermilk to help with the aging process. I will have to start looking for some beautiful pots to place on them and also some nice tall colorful plants for the pots.

I will post more pics as I finish this project. If you have any other ideas for this area, please feel free to post them. I will also be planting some short flowers along the base of the pillars and arbor.
