we had 5 30 footers in our garden until last weekend, dad cut them down then i became an arsonist hehe

Heres mine... this is how it used to look just before the fence down the left side was replaced, the patio taken up and reused as a border around the lawn and the decking was put down.



This is it at the back end of last year as it was just about finished being tarted up.



Its a mess again now after the winter, time to get my arse into gear and get it all sorted for the summer. It could do with a few plants/shrubs in pots etc dotted around to add a bit of colour i reckon. Its nice and simple but handy for hosting etc, relatively low maintenance too

edited to add that one day i'd like to remove the walls at the front of the photo and block pave the patio area at the front aswell as around the lawn.

I also have this area along side my garage that I will be converting to hard standing this year,but the long term plan is to convert the garage to a tripple with a propper storage room upstairs
just need to save hard over the next few years for it.

was not disrespecting his garden, just wondering how he will utilise his space, i think some decking, and a 5 aside footie goal, and a brick built bbq

Concrete the lot and park cars on it. Job sorted!!

Ours is like a terraced 2 tier garden which is grass both top and bottom. ON the top there is a bed of plant/flowers around the border of some kind of plants that take care of them selves.

The only issue is the grass because it grown like mad in summer and weeding the beds. I'd love to concrete it but that means I really would park more cars on it!

Nice place

The trees came out today and its opened it right up, as expected.

I've still got no real idea apart from i want a patio, a pergola and not so much grass.

I'll take some pics tomorrow when I get my camera back. I thought I might as well do some before during and after shots.

ok, roughly what my garden looked like before we moved in

first of all we cut the trees down, then we started to dig out the roots as far as we could

then we stripped all the foiliage in the garden, grass, weeds, twigs, etc

te garden then was totaly bare and we could then get it leveled, then new soil, then new compost stuff going on, then borders, then grass seeds, lots of then, probably about 20 kgs of seeds in a 20 x 40 space (the rest is about 15 foot worth of patio, then another 20 foot of patio at the other end and then the double garage to make up the rest of it

if you want gress, i'd advise that it ends up at the lowest level in the garden so as to help with the drainage, before, the garden was sloped towards the house, with a difference in height of about a foot, now it's still sloped but the difference is only about 4 inches

so get cutting

and if you have lots of trees, make sure you invest in a trailer to get it all down the tip as it's hard work
