Re-vamp day 4!

13 comments


Nearly finished! brick edging finished today, hardcore put down and tamped down, rattling fillings again lol, gravel arrived at 11.30, weed suppressing material put down then gravel on top.


Rocky testing it out. Not sure if they ran out of gravel or if they’ll spread it out a bit when he comes to finish off on Monday, thats when the slabs for Patio are going down, looks a bit bare at the moment but when i get some tubs round it will look better.

Just caught up on your revamping Sk, its coming along well and already has completely transformed your garden, its going to be grand and so much easier for you. I can tell you are already planning where the pots are going to look their best and I don`t blame you, just leave space for your seats so you can relax, lol.
I know what its like when the dogs race down the garden, thats why I have the dog run for winter and wet days, it doesn`t take them long to create the paddock effect at all but I still like to share my garden with them, no point in having them otherwise.
Looking forward to seeing next installment which hopefully will be the finished patio, then you get the fun part ......

Hahaha, Pots are fine, I have 3 in pots, one died this year but it was the winter that done it :) im looking forward to seeing it all finished,(gettn all excited here) one more question SK, is the Patio going at the top end, under the window?

How will you get through the weekend....held in excited suspense until Monday when they return to lay the patio and finish off? Torture, I reckon...lol Still you can begin to sort out in your mind what you'd like to do with your pots etc. The fun is in the planning...then the planting.... then the enjoyment of a job well done, SK :)

Look forward to your next installment.

Sorry, being from Yorkshire,lived abroad. What is"nebbing"

took ages to find out what "LOL" meant. Are these all soap terms. If so glad I don't watch.prefer my garden & a good book.

Grannyb, I think nebbing, is just the 'art' of being nosy! I'm certainly guilty of it!
Doesn't the gravel look swish, Sk! Wonder why they didn't finish it today? (See Grannyb? an example of nebbin!) it will look magic when it's done, can't wait to see it!

Hahaha, yes Nebbing is being nosy grannyb, just my common side coming out :)
It will be lovely having a patio there SK, I bet you have your patio set and pots all ready to go out? Rain right across the country today :( so no gardening for us girls and boys. Hopefully by next weekend you will be ready to "dress" this area SK, Can't wait to see the pics...

I'm a Sussex born & bred girl but lived in Chesterfield, Derbyshire for a year or so. A friend suggested one day that we went for 'a neb' round the new housing estate! I had no idea what she meant, had to ask her. Not common at all, Ydd, just a term not often used down South! : o ))
