    What a lovely gate Woo and a give-away at that price and worth the effort to redo the gateposts so that it fits.

    About the grass v. turf. I think you have decided on the latter, but kryssy's idea was good too. I have another, but unfortunately I can't find the English page for it. It is advertized over here as Blaue Kriechwacholder (blue creeping Juniper ???) and you can walk on it like on grass. The best is that you never have to mow the lawn! Here is what it looks like -

    When I arrived Home and looked up the Garden to my utter dismay Mrs Owl had been busy with her spray can on my beautiful lions (I was not amused to say the least)I wanted to leave them their natural stone colour ,What do you think I need your views to help me in my quest to change them back.
