Garden Destruction

They are going down 1metre and then filling that with hard core ?(no comments) then the usual sand under the slabs, I will get the same depth in topsoil.:WINK1:

The front slopes towards the bungalow and they have laid Eco drains ?? against the property. We have always had drainage problems in the back garden but the front has always drained well

 

So we finally got the soil finished Monday, http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/pamsdish/GARDEN WORK/DSCN1704.jpg

They are finally laying the turf today. So if the weather gets better over the weekend I will be able to start replanting

As you can see the daughter at the far bungalow has already started using slabs as her extended car park

 

Now comes the fun bit :yess:

That took a long time, but hopefully all will now prove enjoyable and a vast improvement on what was there before
No doubt you will let us see updated pics in due course

 

Just asked them and they said keep off for 4 weeks :gaagh::wallbang:

 

So they have near enough finished :happydance: ,I was going to have borders around the trees, but think not . Also I was going to put a large planter in the centre ,gone off that aswell, so will just have 2 troughs under the windows. I have got nearly all my plants back in the borders just 6 small hebes to go in.

 

As you can see the front edge of the grass is dying back, they had to relay part of the path and the tarmac spillage has killed it :gaagh:,but the rest is growing well,nearly time for the first cut .

 

Pam, did you choose the Silver Birch or the contractor? Why isn`t it in the centre of the lawn?lol

 

Hi Dai

You cant see from that pic but there is a red leaved (lost the name)flowering cherry being obscured by the birch, also to the right is a white "snow goose" flowering cherry, so the whole make a sort of triangle
