Because the concrete slabs on edge will be out of site (behind the garage), we've left them and gravelled up to the path using some precious granite sets to define the joining of 2 different hard landscaping materials. As we needed to make a curve, the narrow timber pieces made this easier to achieve. I should have taken a 'before' photo! The hens had scratched and mixed soil and bark chippings with gravel and there was nothing retaining the soil at the base of the hedge. The wood won't last forever but looks suitably rustic in the meantime. Chris also 'blew' round the rest of the garden which, for now; looks much tidier.
