    Our landscaper has drawn us a plan and told us it should take around a week if weather is on his side.

    Thank you D.

    I have Azeleas and Rhod and hosta and helebores I have kept that will be going back into the garden and for the rest landscaper will be suppling shrubs he did say plants that do not shed leaves so will be a surprise for me.

    He will bring along extra for me to say yes or no.

    Really pleased Francis very white when the sun was on it but as the sun moved you could see the shades of green in the marble.

    I think my Harvington shades of night helebore will stand out agains the sky marble chips.

    Very good use of your front space. Around here everyone gets rid of any green and puts in off road parking :mad: :mad: :mad: Slight pet hate as all the beautiful gardens are now tarmac for cars. You would think car owners should be planting more to make up for carbon emissions rather than taking away the lungs of our populated areas!!!

    Its absuletly STUNNING its all coming together you will just have to wait a wee bit longer to see the finished project be around an hour all very impressive.

    And my Harvignton Shades of night is out in bloom against the white sky marble a wonerful show.

    Thank you Johnny we all have driveways for our cars + gardens.Still like the pleasure of gardening.
