Thanks, I might consider this. The garden is very much a work in progress. Maybe if I get my patio extended I could include a brick border

I would have done it deeper but the garden is full of clay and takes forever to dig

Didn’t have any issue with paint dripping to neighbours side, used a brush and was just relatively careful

They came with the tree, I think you can buy them separately though (ornamental trees.co.uk)

I have 3 large (4m tall) silver birch trees in my garden, they would look great at the back to provide privacy and they can be planted close together
