Garden, before and after
Garden, before and after
We moved into a new house mid December. The builders we bought from do not supply grass with the houses and only a limited amount of paving slabs. so after some saving we have finally had the garden done.
Before:
After.
sad that we are not allowed on the grass for 4-6 weeks and that i have to water it twice a day on a new water meter but hopefully it will all be worth it.
(should have left it as mud and bought a new watch!)

Re: Garden, before and after
Looking good. It is annoying what many developers feel they can get away with in terms of landscape design and installation. Giving you a decent lawn and patio wouldn't have cost that much more.
Re: Garden, before and after
thanks, we didn't get any flooring either! they cant sell the house next to us so as an incentive they have put a load of cheap beige carpet in it and put the price up by £5k.

Crikey!
That's a lovely job.

Re: Garden, before and after
A huge improvement but looks like you were a roll short
Will look great when the grass has settled and better still in a couple of years when the plants and trees have matured - here's hoping after+ pics will follow.

Cheers Steve. Had to move 25 miles away from Loughton just to afford what we wanted.
No dogs........... but maybe one day. No one here during the day to look after a dog.

Re: Garden, before and after
Should have left it as it was and bought a watch....give it 6 months and the kids and their friends playing on it and it will look like the first pic

Greetings,
Well done, your hard work and pennies have made a great improvement.
I hope the forthcoming summer allows you to use the BBQ!
Enjoy your new house and garden.

Re: Garden, before and after
Quite right. So short sighted. A neatly designed and prepared garden can be the icing on the cake to a good sale; regardless of whether the house is new or old.jmarchitect wrote:Looking good.

Congratulations on your efforts Greg. Looks great.
Definitely get it watered, worth buying a sprinkler so you won't need to stand around with the hose. It has been so dry recently and there's not much in the weather forecast for rain (at least in the next week or so).

Re: Garden, before and after
great job - you must be dead chuffed
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

That looks great Greg - just remember to remove your watch before having a go on the trampoline!
