Start by laying out the design for your garden. I wanted to create a tiered look for this garden, so I divided the layout into two sections.
Digging the trench is a very important step in building a raised garden. It prevents the grass from growing under the pavers and up inside the garden.

The garden should be as level as possible to keep the structure secure and stable. Check to see how level each stone paver is and then add or remove sand as needed.
4
The fabric prevents the soil from making its way out of the garden between the pavers. Since we're using quality soil for best plant growth, it's important it doesn't leak out!
5
It’s best to stagger the pavers beginning with the second row by positioning each block so it spans over a joint. This will require chiseling some pavers in half as you go.

For the garden soil, I used a combination of peat moss, organic compost, organic garden soil and some vermiculite. After that was thoroughly mixed, I just added in the plants.
