Good progress. The list of house/garden jobs I've been given to do over the summer holidays seems to be endless!
Filling a Pond
- Thread starter DampCat
- Start date
Thanks guys!
It's been hard work, i broke my collarbone 6 weeks back so i can only shovel half-barrows etc plus sorting out my car etc so it's kept me busy
Still got to finish the main part, i've filled the pond a la thread title but not done anything else yet. Going to shift some sand in, membrane it, then get another 3 tons of gravel onto it! Another week or so i think
Mum's house anyway, and she's happy. Good enough for me

Done!
i think these pics are a bit small actually but the others were too big. Need a happy medium.

So all those plants by the fence will grow in, and there will be a rockery covered in ferns on the right side. Will take a season or so
Groo Approved!

Yeah now she has proper access in and out of the garden for the first time. Will make a huge difference come spring when she's gardening
In spring im going to put lawn on the front garden too, we dont need a 4 car drive now that she's the only person there.
ThankS!

Unless you enjoy mowing, I'd subtlety push for gravel/feature plants on the front garden 
My mum has a dwarf maple tree in her front garden, nearly stolen twice ffs. I laid a plastic mesh all over the garden and gravelled over the lot. Would be a shame if someone tries to half inch it again, it will probably be killed. Nice area too

She doesnt mind mowing, and at the moment it's pretty untidy. It's got huge gravel on (60mm+) and doesnt match the rest of the drive that has pea shingle. She'll plant it too.
Although you just gave me a thought. I picked out a Twisted Hazel years ago that's growing out back and it's awesome. Maybe i'll push for one out front.
Tree thieves? The swines :l
