How to Build a Stone Planter Box
FIRST: Find and Prepare your Space
You need to be sure to smooth out the ground where you will be building. As and added bonus you can adjust the sprinklers in the area to make sure they'll pop up inside the boxes.

SECOND: Build the Walls
Lay wall block to build the walls of each box. In our project we used Belgard brand wall block.

Different wall block systems use different ways to lock the blocks together. The block we used can typically be dry stacked or glued with a glue formulated to work with brick and natural stone.
With the walls of the bricks in place it's best to top them off with a wall cap brick.
*Our glue required that we wait 24 hours for the glue to set*
FINALLY: Fill the Box
Fill your box with topsoil and cover the surrounding area with weed barrier and decorative rock. (This is important if you don't want to have to keep coming back every week to pull weeds in the area.) And now you're ready to Plant!
In our project we planted roses from the local nursery in our boxes.
