wow thats a gorgeous garden Rod.

 

Hes retired

Id like to think when im retired id have a garden like that, tho it looks like a full time job

Very tidy and pretty garden

 

It looks very nice and quite low maintainence tbh !

 

Im a bulider but i also own a landscaping company, customers always ask for it but theres no thing as low maintanence

There are 3 styles

piky site

high maintainence

or concrete jungle

(not sure what mine is )

 

LOL im a builder mate with my own business and that garden is low maintanence! not ZERO maintanence, but low for sure!

 

Take one relatively tidy garden:


Dig a large hole:


Ruin it with diggers and tippers etc:


and build a monster at the bottom:


and voila:


Last pic taken over a year ago so its looking abit prettier now. Was worth the mess.

 

Now thats what I call a garden makeover, end result is perfect.

Only criticism is its not big enough, what happens when you have 10 Rs's

 

well this is mine not done much to it as yet but i had a pond dug out and put my toy shed on it, the house pad is cut and awaiting my new house to be built. the house will be starting next week after months of fooking about with planing permision






this is where the house is going


looking up to the house pad from where the shed is lol



and my shed finished


and my lawn mower

 

WOW

 

Nice garden Rod any more pics of the pond?

Kieron - a garage to die for

 

you call that a shed looks better than a lot of the houses over here

 

Funny thing is I wish I'd have gone bigger. With 6 cars in there I wont have any room to work on them. Mind you, Plenty more space to build another. Plus I could park about 5 cars on the slab between the garage and the shed, that 6m x 7m+.

 

Before


after


I've got rid of most of the grass but I still hate cutting it

 

ahhhhh

how do you guys get your o/h's to let you build something that big in the back garden!

mine wont let me extend the shed for parts storage

 

Here's my garden and garages. Bit of work in progress at the mo' as the workshop area(green doors) is undergoing a re-wire with new lighting and power points to replace the old stuff in there and the door that's laying on the ground is being fitted next week. Chucked in a picture of my old RS1800 sat in front of my palms .... my own piece of tropical paradise!

 

Fantastic garages

Some nice gardens too - loving your pond Rod

Loving the big garages

 

i call it a shed the mrs calls it a industrial unit

 

A few of mine, not very good one's though, I need to use a wide angle lens

Front garden:



Rear garden:



The pond & summer house which may be ploughed down this year sometime to make way for a swimming pool

 

I like the garages!!!!!

Im hoping to extend mine when ive got some more money to take up the 75% of the land plot size i can build on without extra planning permission.

 

A J - Loving that !

 

AJ absolutley awesome mate, I'm looking to construct something similar in my own garden without the roof.

Did you build it yourself, as I have a couple of questions I would like to ask before I commence mine!

cheers

 

Aj - Lovely Gardens!

dont get rid of the summer house its lovely!!!

 

makes me want to get our garden sorted, its not a big garden but i like it, got some nice reed stuff to go round the wall just need to get it up!

 

Thought i recognised the garage in the second picture then i scroll down and see the RS1800 which my dad bought off you

how it was

and how it is



some of them thistle type things in the background are getting to 6 foot tall

so i had at them with my trusty big stick with pointy blade on it

 

Here's mine, it's the one to the right of the two lakes, i wanted to tarmac it and have my own 1/4 mile strip but my wife and horses put a stop to thatGood job we don't need to cut the grass, although there's a tonne of crap to pick up.

 

This is the back garden now the trees have been took to ground level:-




This is how it was the other day:-




I just need to work out what I'm going to do next and what

 

Gadget - Er... WOW!

Nath - Looks so much bigger! And check the dog out!
