How to build a Garden Tree Ring

How to build garden tree rings

Anchor garden walls allow the homeowner flexibility to design all kinds of interesting projects. One popular project is the creation of tree rings.

Tree rings are a relatively simple yet effective way of creating emphasis on plants / trees or shrubs in your garden or backyard. Using Acheson & Glover Anchor Bayfield or Anchor Windsor Stone provides the ideal hard landscaping product to bring additional focus, simply and easily without hassle.

The fact that Anchor products are mortarless and dry build means you can work faster and easier than ever before. The most important thing to consider before attempting this project is size. The larger the tree ring diameter the more blocks you will require. You can work this out accurately by using the block calculator provided below.

Also it is worthwhile considering what size your plant or tree will grow to (if it has not yet reached its potential). This will affect the diameter of the tree ring. If you decide upon the final diameter of the uppermost top ring and work from that, subsequent courses will extend your diameter by at least 50mm at a time, this is due to the camber of the wall, and is to do with the way the blocks interlock.

This is worth bearing in mind in case you are in close proximity to for example. A garden shed or house. The photographs shown on the left should give an accurate representation of the final finished project. You can find more detailed information on product installation on our website.
