Default Gardening YVM Stylie!

First leave the garden untended for at least 2 years, for maximum visual effect!


Day 1 - Clear and Level the garden.



Day 2 - Finish clearing + build Frame



Day 3 - Nearly there, not quite up to Tiny's standard but quite a transformation!



So 14 yrds of waste, 200mtr of decking, and 1500kg of shingle later, I'm knackered, nearly done, hopefully won't need to do anything more are another couple of years!

Not looking for work, but if anyone wants a deck built, I’d be happy to do so, usually end up doing 1 or 2 each summer, Lovely work when the sun is out.

Loving having a garden again, sit out most nights



Andrea has even got a couple of Banana plants and a red spiky plant.

But it will be getting a bit cooler soon, so have bought a new bit of kit to keep warm, no not a silly patio heater,
a Fire Pit!

What a fantastic transformation - really well done

(having my garden cleared in a couple of weeks - maybe decking is the way to go )

Looking good there.

There's nopthing better than abit of gardening, which i am a great fan of. I stuck a nice little pond setup in mine and was well chuffed as it was a first attempt at this. I live in a flat so only have a small garden, but try and make the most of the space.
Will post a pic up tomorrow.

Scotty.

If this comment is aimed at Neil, it would take about 5-6......... Years.
