Back garden refurb

Its looking a bit different out the back with the work i started on january 1st



Then by the 8th february it was getting better



fast forward to today and its a whole different story



grass is starting to grow back, new path to the left down next doors conservatory is wider and more level…….new flower beds have been built at the end of the decking



soon it will be summer and i can enjoy the fruits of my winter/spring labour

 

Looking good . Like that you have divided the garden into sections - much like mine.

How about another arch (or move the one you have) and sit it over the new steps - that would look fabulous - give some height to the centre of the garden - and further divide the two areas.

 

The arch over the new steps may happen, but i am concerned about security of the shed until i get that rebuilt as there is around 5ks worth of bikes in there. So i have to think long term on what i do

 

Please keep the pic's coming

 

Its all starting to grass up really well now

 

Looks like you have done a superb job there mate! Keep up the good work!

 

This was what it looked like only 18mths ago

 

This is now added planters, greenhouse, arbor and a now layer to the lawn

 

Wow, what a difference! Looks like your hard work is paying off.. What else do you have planned ? Looks like a lot of graft has gone into it so far.

 

Looking good mate! Looks like only thing your missing is a hot tub/jacuzzi haha.

 

Ive just relayed the main decking area and reinforced it ready to add a pargole and roof. Between yesterday and today i have used nearly 600 screws and 20lengths of 3x2s……

and over the next few days the roof structure will be going up and ive been doing this all solo

 

I have one, but its not being used this year due to huge increase in electric prices

 

Nice! Good way to keep costs down if you can do it yourself! Did you learn how to do it on youtube ?

What else do you plan on doing in the garden ?

 

I'm dreading the leccy bills as well mate but it would all go out the window after a couple bottles of beer/wine.

 

No youtube used…..its just all in my head, along with a good pencil, ruler and a saw
