Default Yours Ideas Are Needed......

On my front garden, was considering to block pave it all but need to keep it looking in keeping with the rest of the estate, if you get what i mean??

Not that i'm posh, what-what

Have over the weekend cleared it ready for what ever i can decide upon, it did have a chipped slate covering but the local kiddies discovered that they can use this to carve their names & tags into neighbours glass/doors etc... on cars

So what d'ya think?

Unfortunatly i cant use it as a drive as thats not allowed.

Crazy paving? Block paving? Slabs?

Oh and grass is a NO-NO, as the bloody stuff dies in 6 weeks of laying

Definitly gravel. Put some plastic sheeting under it first to keep the weeds out

The times you have stood outside during the winter and had a fag and said "Shit its windy out there!"

You may or may not have noticed that i live at the top of one of the highest hills in Dartford



So in a word yes it does get fooking windy outside.

So bark is a poo idea, anyhow i'll be laying it myself.

i think the cement and pebbles idea is good, but if you wanna stop the little scrotes trying to pick em out, use broken glass instead of the pebbles!

PMSL did you just run outside and take that pic?!

I've changed my mind if you're laying it...I wanna come play with concrete!!!

Doing that little patch where the grass went will be a bitch though...think you'll have to come up with something else for there...another exhaust tree maybe, the other one's taken root really well!!
