                You must be really proud of yourself John. It really has the WOW factor and has a hint of the 'Med' with the curved patio, bench and water feature. Ready in time for summer evening relaxation.

                              Hi Roslyn, I started digging up the old garden in April 2007 and it's not really finished yet, I've still got the middle terrace to sort out (currently it's got a big heap of chalk and loads of scaffold planks). It's just going to be a level piece of grass so I can move my son's basketball net away from all my Jungle plants.

                              You must have found the 'before' photos on the first page of this thread, don't worry about not finding them immediately, the thread has become a very large and unwieldy :D
