Very very nice. Well done for sure.I've been working on this for several months and finally got it to a point I wanted to share it. Longest part was the raised grow bed. Still have a little more gravel to put down but besides that it's finished. At least finished for now because are things like this ever really done? Enjoy.

Steal away. I wanted a wider bench for some bigger trees so decided to build it into the grow bed and make it all one piece.I really like your raised grow bed. If I am ever able to buy my own home I will steal your idea.
Thanks!Very very nice. Well done for sure.
Wanted something low maintenance and could handle some run off from the watering.I like the gravel look. One of these years I will replace the mulch around my benches with gravel. So many projects...
Thanks!Yeh raised bed looks great. All very good. Well done.

Thanks for the compliment. I put down plastic weed barrier. My three layer bench I've had the rock down for about two months. Even though it hasn't stopped a 100% of grass and weeds it's sopped 95% of them. Like you said it also keeps the rocks from sinking into the dirt. I picked it up at Home Depot it's plastic with very small holes in it.I am planning to put rocks down also.... can you tell me if you put anything down underneath? I've heard weed block is useless for weeds, but it keeps the rocks from settling down into the dirt. Your benches look great!
Thanks. Not sure who's plans it was for that bench but I did a search online and found a tutorial of someone making one like it.Very nice.
This one looks like you used my plans: https://www.bonsainut.com/attachments/img_2007-jpg.147572/
