Kyle's 2013 Garden Plans

I want to power wash my patio and flags, but when it comes to prices/renting it, I don't have a clue! Could someone tell me prices I should pay/shouldn't pay for it? It'd probably take me a few hours to do.

Also want to either build my own or buy myself a nice summerhouse/shed which could fit a coupe of chairs and small table, but we'll see if I can fund it come next year.

I'll post any photos of my bedframe in here, btw . Just to keep it a bit neater around the sub-forums.

 

And here's what I'm working with;



My garden from March.

& how it looked in September 2011;



The lavender started to look a bit horrible this year, as I don't really know how to look after them I put it in my sister's garden so I could add a new rose (don't know if you can even put roses where lavender once stood?)

For the area you've got to clean you'd be better off with a yard brush & a bottle of thin bleach rather than a pressure washer, talking a few quid from tescos rather than £60.

 

Hiya Kyle.

Even with the pics, it's a little bit difficult to see how much needs cleaning. Certainly worth trying wot Zigs said. Personally, if there was an area that I wanted to pressure wash, I wouldn't bother hiring one if I could help it. Chances are that cleaning it will be an annual event, therefore better in the long run to buy one.

The pictures aren't to show the patio/flags, just so people have an idea and everyone likes photos

And I don't have an outside tap, so I'm guessing it makes my chances of getting the power washer slimmer..

 

True enough, and a very nice space it is too

No outside tap!? That needs sorting

 

Power washers also throw poo over everything else, so you might have clean slabs, but you've then got filthy fences, walls, cats etc.

Scrubbing brush & a watering can is much more selective I clean my layby with a stiff broom & then just wait for it to rain.

Furniture wise, have you joined the local freecycle group? Usually some garden furniture going free on there.

 

He's right you know

 

Suppose if it throws up poo on my fences I won't need to paint them...
