Probably the last update I'll make to this one. I've taken the platform around the pedestal lamps and made it into a ring-shaped walkway around the gazebo itself.

This is the only option I've come up with that is actually good enough to continue with, as absolutely none of the bush options I've tried have actually looked like they fit, they just look like they were badly photoshopped in.

Any further advice is welcome, as with all my other progress shots of this scene.

I should probably make a concerted effort to add more weathering, as nothing I added after a certain point has any on it at all.
