Yes the borders were not wooden to start with but my Mom got inventive and thinking about the ease of weeding, mowing and taking pictures while not being able bodied. One can sit and weed from any direction arms length. The Triangles and back border have cement in the middle to stand in or set statues on without stepping on soil.

Usually works great for the rains happen and it drains well. On hot times with no rain we do have to water but the artesian well takes care of that and me of course. Normally there is a birdbath in the center of the cross.
