I/we tried the cinder block route 1st and wasn't happy with it.. It was a 1/2 a$$ attempt on my part though.. The challenge is getting them firm and stable..
Yep. My OCD kicked in spectacular fashion. What got me started on the cinder blocks is my back yard is sloped and I could never get whatever I was using to look neat and level ... Until I found cinder blocks! Don't be surprised if in a couple of years I'm posting about mortaring the blocks. Lol I'm a little nuts that way. But for now I'm just happy it's all level ... Kinda ... Pretty much ... At least if you don't look REAL close.
