Breeze Blocks

I wish to redesign my back garden so that it looks a little less like someone threw it together one night after staggering home from the pub. It is rented but we aren't leaving anytime soon...
The problem is that there are breeze blocks everywhere! Breeze block paths, breeze block bases for structures long gone... they are ugly and grey and not my thing, but they are here and I either have to use them or dispose of them.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do with these things???

Thank you

 

I had a big pile of rubble left over when I cleared the hedge.

Sis said she would take it down the tip a few bags at a time, knew that wasn't gonna happen anytime soon so built a wall with it.

 

Wow Zigs!! Love your wall. It looks stunning. Wish you could come and do that here.

Jack: my neighbour painted his breezeblock wall dark stone by Sandtex, and with some well placed plants it looks really nice now.

 

Thank you

I'll work anywhere if the price is right, furthest i've been so far is Turkey

 

That wall looks marvellous .

Instead of disposing of the breeze blocks - how about using them to construct raised beds - a bit of elbow grease, mortar and finished with a coloured masonry paint.

If they're pot breeze blocks you can plant in them - a nice trailing plant - such as my favourite lobelia - will hide a multitude of sins.

Or, construct seating - and top with some paving slabs - again painted to either blend in or to simply tidy up the surface of the blocks.

Recycle I say

 

Thank you all for your replies - certainly some things to think about... if I am honest it is just far too much trouble to transport these things anywhere so I am grateful for the ideas that are about reusing them around the garden :D

 

Unfortunately they are solid... thoughts at the moment have gone no further than raised beds - but not sure where... shelves in the pond (which I haven't built yet) and umm.... painting them with yoghurt and hoping lichen gets a grip ha ha

 

If you do not want to use them for other structures, then just smash them up with a sledge hammer ( easy if they are the lightweight type) and they will make a great sub base to any path or concrete base you may construct during your redesign or use them in a sump / dainage for any area that waterlogs easily

 

And remember, summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing thru the jazmine in my mind

 

That's good to hear. Thankfully (so far anyway), you'll not need a passport to come up to Scotland. Would a fiver do? That would have to include materials
