Now I'm in the process of figuring out the replacement of dwarf azaleas. I have it in my mind if I can just work it out.

I needed the brick to use as borders to the pathway so I stole the brick from the planters. I wanted planters in the same place so I picked up some of the border stones to replace the planters. I think they turned out okay.
