    Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm 28, I live in Glasgow (Cambuslang) but I was born in New Jersey USA. I am a civil engineer working on a £500 million highways project in Glasgow and also a Royal Engineer in the Army Reserve.

    My wife-to-be and I have just bought and moved into our first house, a 3 bed detached with garage new build. I'm here because I have never touched a garden in my life, and I need help! We are getting married in April 2017 and I have family coming from the US and Malaysia so I want to make sure our garden looks as good as can be.

    Cheers

          Thanks you guys.

          Plans are to build decking at the back doors (already set out and started leveling by hand, gravel along the south side of the house and the level and seed the rest of the garden. We also have 2 baby rabbits so I'll be getting some fencing and securing the perimeter of the garden so we don't lose them!
