“Garden Paving”
Make a flight of steps look more formal by placing two matching containers at either side of the bottom or top step. They can be planted up with bay, roses, box or dwarf conifer, alternatively stand large decorative pots such as terracotta filled with stones to give weight and stability.
To soften the effect of a large, paved area (Garden Paving), take up one or two slabs and plant into the soil. Before adding the plants, prepare the soil well adding some compost and manure to introduce nutrients.
To age new bricks, brush them with milk or yoghurt.
