Give concrete some flair

Article Abstract:

Imaginative designs can spruce up plain concrete in gardens. Square concrete slabs can be used instead. Occasionally managed gardens can have bands between the slabs filled with decorative pebbles or rocks. Well-tended gardens can have grass bands in place of colored stones for a gentler look.
