    Hi, Im new to the forum and thought I'd post a few pics of my garden to let you see where i am with it. Low cost and low maintenance are the themes. :)

    Materials, hardware etc cost apx £600.00 including beach pebbles. All work done by me with help from my good lady and a mate.

    Crazy paving nearly drove me crazy, was easy to lift but took many runs in car to the amenity site to remove it all. I guesstimate it was around 1 to 1.5 tons.

    Kerbstones were recycled and I like the worn look they have.

    Slope on lawn near fence was filled with mixture of topsoil, compost and spoils from under the crazy paving, then turfed a-la B&Q.

    New turf has slumped slightly but dosent it look nicely green compared to original lawn.

    More crazy paving.

    Have managed to remove most of the daisies and dandelions from the lawn, just the moss to deal with now... better get the rake out :dh:

    What a transformation :thmb: , I'm on the lookout for some robust fencing as the wind over the past 24 hrs has damaged two panels beyond repair :cry:
