    I cut a clients last Saturday, if it needs doing and the weathers not going to be frosty for a couple of days, then I don`t see a problem.

    Hi walnut,thanks, the hose and lead are attached to the pressure washer as I am still working on cleaning the patio. Mrs shiney won't let me do more than two hours at a time with the pressure hose until my hernia is fixed :eek: . Still a lot to go. The garden goes back about 300ft. Front garden is 80ft x 100ft.

    Thanks inter, by the time I've done my allocated time on the pressure hosing I'm not in a fit state to spend time putting the hose and cable away. I'm a poor old sod! :D

    You have some specimen conifers there Shiney and a ginormous Willow, what a garden! [​IMG]
    Can't get on my lawn it's too wet, solid clay underneath so it takes ages to drain. :(
