been doing a few more weekends work on this. All panels on left and bottom now painted. Turned over all the soil on the left removed all crap and weeds and brambles and now have an edge to work to. Just been doing behind garage today. Never known anything like it!!!! The previous owners have dumped all sorts of shit down there. Great big chunks of concrete, an old school Baxi boiler and ive got no idea what it is but its about 2 ft wide, 12" in diamater and weighs about 100kg and is like a cast iron roller for flattening tarmac!!!!
Still plenty to do though.

We have similar except our garden is 300ft long and about 20 feet wide.

When we moved in the first 50 feet was parking/shed/patio/gravel and the other 250 feet grass above your head :lol:

So far we've cleared about 80 feet to use as lawn and over the summer mown it constantly to improve the grass condition - its getting there slowly!

Just a bitch having so much to think about, no way I've got the cash to send in gardener for days and days!

not 100% sure yet, trim all bushes down to manageable size, mrs wants a patio area down that bottom end, guy who lives over that bottom fence is having the huge trees trimmed next spring as well and hopefully replacing the fence panels as they are pretty crap and damaged and dont meet the other neighbours fence in the far right corner. We already have a patio at the bottom of the main pic and thats the end of the rabbit hutch and run on the left. That path will carry on all way down to bottom and see what happens from then i think.

Moved into our own house a couple of months ago now. Will be concentrating on internal decorating over autumn/winter. In the mean time the garden needed some major attention after being left neglected for 4 months whilst the moving process dragged its feet.
The garden is 110ft / 34ish meters and been used as a dumping ground for all sorts of crap that the previous owner couldnt be bothered to take to the tip. At the end of the garden we were faced with about 12 foot long stretch of this:


After paying a gardener to clear the brambles and all the rocks and the crap, today i dug out 6 conifers and 3 trees with parents and am now left with this:


Its a long way from being finished but only having occasional weekend days to sort it its gonna take a while to make it look anywhere near how we want.
This is the view from the house.


Ill try and keep it updated with any progress.
