    Hi all,

    New here.. Keen gardener since getting our first house 5 years ago. Moved last year and started landscaping January ready to get the lawn and borders ready for this spring! Below are a few pictures of the garden when we moved in last year... image1.jpeg image2.jpeg image3.jpeg image4.jpeg image6.jpeg

      Here's a few pics and teasers as to the work in progress along the way... 10 tonnes of clay removed and 30 tonnes of top soil added to level the garden. New fence, sleepers installed ready for new patio.

        Here's where we are at now... Ground all seeded and grass now coming through. Shed to build and patio to finish off. Just got to paint fences and decide on some more mature plants to add. Will keep you all updated if you want to follow progress.

              Thanks for all the comments. We are getting there slowly. Another full day yesterday re-laying the side alley round the house and painting fences.

              Good news! The grass is starting to appear now too. :-)
