More Gardening

Here are a few more shots recording the progress of my front garden make over the other week. I'm sure that Alan Titchmarsh and the Groundforce crew would have been impressed!!

Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to take a quick shot before the work commenced so the first photo is actually after a foot or so of soil, some shrubs and weeds had already been cleared.

Step 1 - Ground cleared, leveled and time to come up with some design ideas!


Step 2 - Anti-weed membrane put down and leftover slabs from the back garden laid to


Step 3 - Rest of soil covered in anti-weed membrane (carefully cut round shrubs etc), then a layer of low maintenance bark laid.


Step 4 - Focal point finished off with a Cordyline (picked up from a local garden centre) and some other new shrubs planted around the edge of the garden (which can't be seen in the photo!).
