Stage 01
The exposed brick top
The earlier photograph shows the top of the brick garden pillar without a continuous cap. The brick edge is exposed around the central planting opening, and old stone pieces lie on the ground beside the pillar.
This view provides the starting reference for the stone installation at the top of the existing brickwork.
Before: the exposed brick top around the planting opening, with loose old cap pieces on the ground.
Stage 02
Fitting the stone cap sections
Stone cap sections were installed around the square perimeter of the pillar. Each section forms part of the border around the planting opening, with joints where the pieces meet at the corners.
The pale gray stone creates a defined top edge above the brick faces. The installation view shows the fitted sections and the slight projection of the stone beyond the brickwork.

Stage 03
The finished garden pillar
The finished view shows a continuous stone border around the planted center. The cap brings a coordinated gray finish to the top of the brick feature beside the front walkway.
From the path, the stone edge frames the planting opening and gives the existing garden pillar a more complete appearance.
