My Garden Project......

[paulmac]

Well we moved into our new house in September, and the 1st thing we wanted to get done was the back garden. Its wasn't because it was overgrown or untidy, it was just not how we wanted it. As we have a little girl there was far too much stuff for her to hurt herself on like prickly trees/bushes, rose bushes, concrete flagstones etc etc..

.so after about a fortnight i started putting a few hours in each weekend when i got the time and the weather allowed. And now i can say its all but done, i just need about 3 more rolls of turf to put down beside the shed. Its took a lot of hard graft to get to this but its been worth it.

I got someone into actually lay the turf, because i had priced the turf up and it was £245, i then thought id ring the landscape gardener my mum had used in the past and he came and quoted me £280 to supply the grass and to lay it so it was a no brainer haha..i was going to use turfland in Southport to get my grass but the gardener used better grass in my opinion anyway as it is Rolawn medallion turf which i believe to be pretty damn good. Any way, here's some pics to show what ive been up2 instead of being on my decks.....

Looks great! Always feels good to have that sense of accomplishment after some hard labor.

once the 10ft trampoline gets set up, the playhouse, slide and swing goes up there wont be much room left haha...very tempted to build a bbq tho instead of buying one...

gonna put some hedging or climbers around the fence man?

[paulmac]

tbh, i dont think so. We have hedges in the front and i hate them. Just going to get the fences painted once the grass has bedded in. Will have some stuff planted in the border at the far end but thats all we want. Just a big lawn for our little girl to play on.
