My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is it important to have level raised beds?

17 years ago

How important is it to level the raised bed? Is this different from gardening without a raised bed?

Where I want to place my raised bed there is about an 8 to 10 inch drop over the 14 foot length of the area.

Can I make two levels of the raised bed? Sort of like a terrace. Will this work?
