Amphitheatre created! Day three at this tree planting job. The garden has a steep slope between the house and a planned firepit seating area. We suggested a little two step amphitheatre style stepped seating be created out of the slope. The plan is to have sections of 2mm steel be used as a retaining wall to be bent into position and pinned at both ends thus avoiding the need for posts or a foundation so very affordable.
