Stage Three gets underway.

[lobeydosser]

Although Stage Two was held up because of my Stroke, Stage Three is now underway with most of the heavy work being done with contractors.

This involved using chainsaws and root grinders.

First went the 20 foot Leylandii Trees.....

Then the large and small Privet Hedging.....

The fencing added....

And finally the old rough lawn taken up and a No-Mo Lawn put down in its place.......

During this week and before the snow arrives, I am filling in some root holes with the spare Scalping's that I have left over from the back garden.

That's Scalpings as in the sweepings from quarry workings and not the produce from hairy assed Redskins with big Tomahawks!

All looking shipshape and very tidy indeed lobeydosser

Hopefully we’ll get some decent decent weather in the not too distant so you can chill out and relax in your posh garden

Looking nice and tidy there, lobeydosser, and no more lawn mowing! I'm glad you have been able to move on to the next stage. What's next, I wonder?

[lobeydosser]

What's next chykensa Is more concreting, more wooden troughs, more obelisks and finally more Roses and Bedding Plants.

Then, hopefully a rest.

Stage Four is earmarked for the building of a Banister along one side of the Decking area.
And Stage Five is a paved area that Madam wants along the back (south facing) wall of the house to grow Herbs and the like.

I'll probably in my 80's before it is all finished!!!!!

Ah, but it'll all be worth it lobeydosser! Sounds great though, and will keep you gainfully employed in the meantime! Hope the snow doesn't get in the way too much, and don't panic, it'll be raining by the weekend

[lobeydosser]

First we had the contractors to remove the Leylandii and the Privet and now we have Jack Frost and his associates to remove the Baux Hedging, or at least hide it.....





Tomorrow you'll find me in the shed trying to make up 4 stilts to strap to my Bichon's Paws in an attempt to raise him enough to keep his Willy above the snow level.

Man, oh man!

There's that snow thing again ..... Brrrrrrr.


Gotta say, lobeydosser there's some real great results you are achieving in your yard makeovers.

The basis for both back & front gardens has been in my mind for years and the only thing that stopped me was lack of funds.

Now that I am Vaping, instead of Smoking, and therefore spending 7p a day instead of £9 a day. suddenly I can afford to splash out and build the garden of my dreams.

It will take time ofcourse and it will never get completely finished, but the hard landscaping will get done this coming year and the following years will be picked from catalogues.
