Lawn topdressed and overseeded on Saturday, perfectly timed for the 5mm of rain it had on it yesterday. Should get the seed off to a good start. A couple of bits are a bit sand heavy where i've tried to level some areas out.

Coming along nicely!

Get those leaves up or they kill what you’ve just grown.

Exactly what I was about to say.

Also - if that is Rye Grass, don't be surprised if it drastically thins out over the Winter

There's not that many leaves, and its a balance of getting them off vs walking on it when its absolutely sdoaking, which will probably do more damage than the leaves.

Final before and after from me

Before....

After - bit of planting to do but basically there including the hue lights that were secretly my whole interest in doing this..

Well.. time to go again...

I left my lovely garden and now have this to tackle...

bottom half looks more or less sorted (unless you you don't like shrubs).

It's all been well looked after.. it's most the patio which is like something from it's a knockout.

Literally a trap.

At least you're on top of the hill.

Of my own garden yes, put the front there are people a bit above but then they're at the bottom of their gardens so.. you know?

No chance of that here but also no chance of being able to really get stuck in as we're too busy half demolishing the inside first.

We did the same, because i was busy, other arranged everything and the first thing they did was rip out all the large evergreen trees, I kind of miss them, but to be honest because very little space left with shed, wall trees and bushes we never used it, a proper garden needs time and care an we don't have either. I do want to bring back more of a natural garden without raking over the the full yard, I did add some roses few years back, I may add more.

Hi looking for some advice. In process of laying new patio and returfinh.

Should I lay down electrical cable armoured at same time or are solar lights adequate nowadays?

Looking for 14 up lights around the garden as an ambient light

Nigel Kingdon · Tuesday at 09:08

Low voltage pond lights are a great compromise. I have all 3 kinds (Solar around the pergola, 12v for the pond, 240v + armour for up lighting trees, put in when we added there raised lawn). Dual fuel solar extends their usage, our pergola lights still come on for a few hours every evening at this time of year. These are surprisingly good and have been in the pond since July.
