I certainly wouldn't use a landscaper and they are usually expensive. When I had a large soakaway dug out and replaced I used a recommended firm of Groundworkers.

Yes, effective chemical weedkilling will not work at this time of year.I have eradicated bindweed by digging out thoroughly......once the ground is apparently cleared sieve through it again checking for every piece of white bindweed root. You will find long strands of it so gently pull it as...

Cheers, that looks a handy site. Bookmarked.

I would love the grid stuff, but its so expensive, it is the same cost as block paving in total, so unless you specifically want the grids and gravel, then I would personally rather have block paving.

With walls like those you can hardly go wrong. What wonderful backdrops to the planting. With so many evergreens it will look good in winter too.

That is one straight run? Wow.Sounds like you either have to borrow a bigger vehicle, get it delivered or cut it down.

I think it looks very impressive and can’t wait for next year now to see your rose and all the other plants I think it will look a real picture by what you say the plants are and so what if there are a few you had forgotten.. I love imperfections here and there to tickle your fancy or make you...

Hi,It really depends on your application and circuit design.For lowish water volumes then solenoid valves are usually the cheapest option plus you can buy low voltage ones quiet cheaply, typically around £4 on ebay.Using higher flow ball valves like those used on central heating should...

I've just applied the last coat of masonry paint - the timber is rough sawn so hopefully the masonry paint will stay put.This is what it looks like: I'm quite pleased with it - free pallets and used up bits of leftover paint which was destined for the bin. When it's ready to be planted...

@CanadianLori It's good that you have specific officers in charge of that kind of issue, I guess it makes it easier to get some official help. If there is anything like that somewhere in the UK, I have never heard about it.Sorry to hear that house prices are so high in Canada too. I guess...

Looks great. Such a big space to work with. If you want to fill a large area with attractive plants that will be low maintenance then you could perhaps consider a wildflower section or two which is also great for wildlife. I bought some stuff from these guysWe supply Wildflower Seed, Plugs &...

@Snowbaby just get the bloke back that hung it for you. If he is a decent bloke he would sort something out for you if you show him the problem.

Well we have a small porch and hubby put a side peace in a few years back but the wood started to deteriorate on it, so he went to a place recommended by a friend... who was window specialists but did porches as it only needed a door and side panel...they quoted over £600 but you give them the...
