I have started my succulent do-it-yourself flower bed and in addition with a concrete Indian head. The grassy area of my backyard is being removed due to the severe drought California is experiencing now. The reason for the pet fence around the succulents without an animal in sight? I am trying to protect the succulents and my dog at the same time. My dog is on the outside of the succulent bed.

Trouble in the Garden
First of all, my pug Bandit loves to eat the succulents to the point of becoming ill. I try to teach Bandit not to eat the succulents but pugs are very stubborn… so the succulents may stay inside the fence for a while.

The grass and debris are removed from the succulent bed. Next, the black paper is installed to prevent weed growth. Used brick is layered around the bed as a border and the beautiful rocks are collected locally.
Our contractor who did the foundation of our home remodel made the cool Indian head with leftover concrete. It is perfect in the succulent bed, as it will stand out and look nice with the succulents.
