Below is a before shot of an uninviting, underutilized backyard.
We started with demo of the entire yard and concrete forms for a raised concrete planter which has become popular for todays contemporary styling.
Planter number one with concrete forms removed.
Concrete planter number two. This shot was taken 3 hours after the concrete pour. Timing is crucial here. Remove the forms too early and the whole structure will collapse. Too late and it will be too hard to hand trowel a smooth finish.
