Constructing the planter & wall

Final bit of Foundation
The lat jof of this project is to build a small wall along the front of the garden and construct a planter to add some plants . because the ground ha sbeen disturbed so much by the original excavation it was necessary to let it settle for a 2-3 weeks . as we neareed the end of the september Bob returned with his digger to build the foundations for the wall and planters
Here you see the front excavated and some of the shuttering in place ready for the foundations In the picture below you see the end of this process with the concrete just poured into the shuttering.
Here you see the foundation for the front wall and the planter in place once these are hard we can start finally to begin the last walls  of the project
The start of the front wall which will step its way up the hill.
We decided to have a steped wall as this will follow the steps in the existing wall that we have built.
