How to Make a Planter with Pavers


(5) Concrete pavers (or pieces of cut flagstone)
(1) Tube of landscaping or construction adhesive

Arrange four of the pavers to create the outline of a square; the end of each

Run a thick line of the landscaping adhesive along the edge of each

Once the adhesive dries and cures (typically it takes about 24 hours, but read the directions on the product packaging), apply the adhesive along the inside top edge of each
Once the adhesive has cured and dried, turn your planter upside down and fill with potting mix (don't use garden soil). After that, you're ready to plant!
Tip: You may need to apply new adhesive every year or two, depending on the quality of the adhesive, your climate, and other conditions.
