The retaining wall is going in! I purchased 70 interlocking concrete decorative blocks for the wall.

A close-up view of the wall...even the peonies are peering over it. A NEBCo brick sits to the far right.

A view of the wall from the old patio area. I had a few blocks left over.

Another view, this time from the pool deck.

The rectangular blocks on top of the wall were there temporarily to give an idea of the finished wall.

The copper firepit is already starting to get its patina. The little bird on top is solid brass.
