Step 2Tackle the Walls
Working one section at a time, we pushed over the granite foundation walls to make them safe and hand piled the rocks to show off the best colours and give the garden it's shape. (Yup, that's me on the backhoe... it helps to have a strong friend around the farm)
Make sure your final wall heights are pleasing before you start adding plants, or you will have to be like me and take down the high bits by hand later. We originally thought leaving one high wall section would be a nice contrast but it was too distracting from the rest of the garden, so, out with the sledge hammer and up on the wall to get it done...
All of the rocks taken down by hand were used on the other garden walls.
