For this backyard garden project in Wellfleet, we installed two 6×3 raised beds directly onto an existing concrete patio. The beds sit flush against the edge of the slab—we carefully cut and removed sections of concrete to make room for proper placement and root depth.
Each bed was layered using a thoughtful, sustainable approach: log slices for weed suppression, woody debris for soil displacement and drainage, homemade compost for nutrients, and Coast of Maine Organic Raised Bed Mix to top it off. The result is a rich, healthy growing environment just steps from the family’s kitchen—perfect for fresh harvests and daily use.
