my garden update

don't know if any of you remembered my post help needed for garden back in january well the update is the housing association would not help with any issues but they sent me the drainage plans for the house and we are connected to storm drains !! so we bought the draiange channels and laid them across the whole of the garden dug down to the storm pipe and connected up and hey presto no more floods !!!! cost about £90 to do that part we are now laying a new patio 2 rows left to do. have dug up all the rest of the garden and the stones and rocks are unbeliveable what we found some we annot get out. this tuesday someone is going to rotovate roll and lay the new lawn so the garden will be more or less finished. it has been bloody hard work but got a good result in the end. I have never attempted doing drainage before but with my husband giving some help as he is disabled I am proud of what we have acheived.
just thought I would bring you up to date on what happened

 

Result

I'm glad you got it sorted. Hopefully by summer it will be a distant memory.

Lob some pics on as you go, be nice to see it coming on.

 

I remember also ..Glad you got it sorted now you can enjoy your garden ..

Very well done Handman.

 

pics

here are before and after the wire fencing is only temporary as its new turf and the dogs are not allowed on ther yet !!!

 

Blimey, what a difference

Those first shots looked like the wetlands nature reserve in the wet season, during a downpour.

Wouldn't think it was the same plot, well done hap feet

 

it was hard work but well worth the end result just waiting now to plant flowers in hanging baskets , pots and at the back of the garden to give it more colour

 

What a transformation - well done! It will look smashing once you get some flowers into pots & baskets. That will be the icing on the cake!!

 

You got a good result in the end .Well done big pat on the back .
