    Having taken on a Modern house, which I must admit had seen better days, I took on the garden to make it more manageable, more attractive and somewhere to enjoy during the summer months.

    Year 1 the garden looked like this :

    Year 2 was attacking the tree's, filling in the stagnent pond (a long long story) and getting rid of the roots. I also had to rebuild the back fence which had rotten posts and verticals.

    The final year saw completion and I must at the time I was seriously pleased with myself and how it turned out. Well worth the hardwork. Although then moved to Scotland and the boys now live in the house and the garden as a result doesn't quite look like this anymore.

    I can see a lot of effort went into that!

    But now that's what I call "low maintenance!" Well done!
