The front garden has been changed again, its been hard work taking up the centre beds and removing the centre crazy paving path and all the grey shale paths. OH gave me lots of help digging it all over and removing as many stones as possible. It was then gone over with a whacker plate and raked again to a fine tilth, then we put the turf ` rolawn` down which we found very easy to manage.
I designed how I wanted the white fencing which OH made and installed and I painted.
!
I must admit to being very happy with the end result, the only bad result being we now have to buy a new lawn mower and some nice willow green paint to do that horrible brown fence.lol.

I liked it as it was but it has made a huge difference putting down the grass, so neat and tidy with lovely borders and lovely fencing. Great job - well done :o0)

Oh Wow!!!, you have been busy Stroller, I liked it before but saying that it looks smashing with the grass, I do like to see a freshly cut lawn, saying that mine is looking very sorry for itself as its badly in need of a good drink, to me the whole garden appears bigger now as well....I think I recall asking you what your next project was going to be a few weeks back, it didn't take long for you to find one, lol....

Thank you Micky and Stera, Olive I just have to keep it neat and tidy.
Lincs we have been promised rain for tomorrow so that should help it along hope you get some too as the gardens do need it.

They sure do, I cannot remember having to top up my waterbutts in Oct and our ground is so hard when it does come it'll probably just run off the top and we'll end up with reports of flash flooding again...I'm lucky where I live but others not so...

It's very bright and cheerful looking. Lawnmower isn't too expensive - get one that mulches as well.

My goodness you have been working hard you two, but what a difference it looks a lot nicer,... but who's that I spied sitting down on the job lol!

What are you like Phyl?!!! All that hard work removing the stones and slate ... but I must say I like to see some lawn too. Love the white fencing. Not even asking where the crazy paving and shale have gone ...

I hope I'm not going to offend you, but I think it looked nicer before you changed it. I don't like lawns. I think they're boring ... Sorry but I have to say what I think. I can't be two faced ...
Your white fence is lovely though :o)

Hywel, I`m not offended at all I much prefer people to say what they think.

I am relieved ... lol :)

There was a lot for you to dislike in our garden then Hywel!

I love the green grass and how it's trimmed with the natural rocks and plantings. It sets off the rest of the garden and offers a clean, tidy area for picnic/play/bbq, etc.

Thanks Bathgate for your kind comments and I haven`t had to buy a mower as a very kind friend has given me one which her father had just purchased before he sadly passed away.
I haven`t even had to water the new lawn as its rained every day since it was put down. Mind you I hope it can hold on to the soil as it is teaming down today and very windy with it.

I really love grass too. It is worth all the hard work. Looks great. :0)
