Post Your Garden!

Thanks!

I may well do something like that in the future. For now the only "live" things are in those three pots. For now though, the next steps are just to get rid of all the spare wood behind the garage and then look to get some garden furniture/decent BBQ

Yeah was going to say the same thing, there is a lot of brick there so sure you can grow a few things against it, as long as it isn't something crazy and do damage like ivy

Love it, I think it looks perfect. Minimalistic, clean, very pleasing to the eye. I'd personally leave it at that.

What patio slabs are they @ScoobyDoo69 please?

Lovely minimalist garden then. BBQ and some chairs and you're sorted!

Front:

(That's ant powder on the porch)

Back:

Have been cheating and using fertiliser and sprinklers, hence grass is still look greener than most lawns around here.

Looking at all these wonderful gardens makes me wish mine was half decent, its large enough but the dog digs holes in the lawn and anything I plant he digs it out

.
Keep promising to myself Ill get it done.

Garden after I moved in 6yrs ago

Garden after i got at it

Garden after professionals got at it

Finally managed to get my garden sorted after it being a tip for years after i destroyed it. Rather than struggling with it on my own i opted for a local landscaper to come in and sort it all out. Just finished it this morning and I'm delighted with what they've done. I've just got to remove a few bits from up the back and I'll paint the shed and fence again and I'll be ready to enjoy the space again

Images appear to be broken

@Fastlane88

If I paste the URL in they work so must be the wrong ones for the forum. Looked at the first and last, what a transformation.

Thank you.

I believe the slabs are just considered Cotswold yellow ones? I can't even remember where I got them now either, sorry :eek:

Lovely. Really like the flower beds! What spotlights are they please?

What's with the wall texture on the 12th picture? It's not smooth like the rest of the flower bed walls.. I think I prefer it textured like that.

Kol · 7 Aug 2018 at 10:25

It looks great. I'm trying to remember who it was, there was another user on here that wanted to do exactly what you've done.

Unicorn · 11 Aug 2018 at 17:51

Right i actually feel iv done enough to be posting it now :') Its genuinely been hell trying to "fix" the garden from what it was when i bought it.

Its only a decking, garage painted, fences painted, gravel boards put in place and a general clean up but this has just been 5 weekends of work.

(When i took it over i wish it looked this good but it had fallen into wreck as they had moved out 12 months prior to me moving in whilst waiting for a buyer.

So yeah i took some big tools to it and did this.

This is were i noticed how much garden i really had to play with instead of a stupid oversized decking.

The mrs demanded another decking but we agreed it would be smaller.. By a lot! So instead of smash the concrete slab up (Which i did not want to do

) i made use in my new decking and secured a lot of the frame to it for the new deck

Iv no photos of it being built as really i forgot to take some.

Now i just need to finish the rest of the garden, Get some slate chips down and some grass and im calling it a win for this year

matt100 · 12 Aug 2018 at 12:04

Moved in about april last year.. just about finished the garden now..

Used to have a lawn, I have zero interest in mowing such a modest space, especially seeing as that would involve carrying a mower up some stairs.. nope.

Now the patch at the bottom is in full veg swing turning out things like this!

Just the fence on the left of the pictures to replace which is hopefully happening next week and then we really are done!

Very nice.

Courgette or marrow?

Very nice, how did you grow the wine?

Lol.. big picture is big..

Sadly haven't managed vines yet.. one day in a different house

Duke · 19 Aug 2018 at 11:54

Great result. Is that your new fence right at the top as well? Blocks the commercial units out nicely.

No, that was quite the saga too, there was a fence and then when we moved in it was gone, it had fallen down.. Trying to find out who owned it was getting on for impossible.. then someone put harris fencing up which is clearly awful.

We even started speaking to a solicitor and considered paying for it ourselves then out of nowhere someone just turned up and did it!

This is the fence now completed

Are they solar lights or mains powered?

Look class mate!

Solar so now is the time I'll start figuring out if they work when the sun starts dwindling!

Thanks
