Pics of my almost finished garden.

[D14 AYS]

Now that spring has sprung and the summer is upon us, I have almost finished my garden after a few years of hard graft, it was an absolute pile of rubble and weeds! Just a new fence and a bit of pointing to go.

Bring on a nice scorching summer

That's pretty smart.

Get some more water on that turf!

Looks great, the lawn looks like a bowling green.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Very nice. Got any 'before' pics?

What brick is that please? It's lovely.

As for the dog... how cute!

Nice garden.

I do like your work bench

Fab tree ferns (or what ever they are called these days)

[D14 AYS]

I have got some before pics somewhere, will try to dig them out.

As for the bricks, I took down a couple of chimney stacks on one of my jobs and recycled them. The bricks are like a wire cut brick, nothing special.

The lawn was only laid last Tuesday, I used Rolawn Minster Pro, I am going to try and get it like a putting green to practice my putting on I need all the practice I can get

Cheers for the brick info.

Very neat, but - wait until you wake up one morning and find that all your lovely turves have a 1" gap between them. May is not a great time to turf - have a sprinkler ready and lots and lots of water.

Sprinkler goes on every night for an hour

Looks great Dean, a really neat job. Shame about nextdoors' fence though.

Thanks Dominic, That fence is shocking so I am going to put a close boarded fence up there as soon as work goes quiet.

Personally i love the unifomaty(is that a word?)look of a garden.

Nice work! I bet those Dicksonias (tree ferns) cost you a few quid... I notice you also have a number of other specimen plants such as the Trachycarpus and Acer. Did you get them wholesale as they'd cost a hell of a lot retail???

He is a she, and she has been trained to only go in one particular place in the garden.
