Finally got the back garden finished. It's been a lot of hard work and manual labour but worth it!

Many spades, many shovels, lots of trips with the trailer to the tip, and 1 year later....

Nothing fancy, easy to maintain, simple but yet I think it looks good. Just a deck, turf, some grey slabs and spey chips.

And some sore thumb bashings building the fence!

There was just concrete everywhere. We had to get pickaxes. At times just felt like giving up thought we would never see the end of the mess.

thanks guys, glad we have the cs approval lol. was a bit dubious as we didn't stick in a pond or fancy patio

25 square metres including 1x ton of topsoil was £162 from a local turf suppliers, a place called stewarts turf.

that was with delivery included.

i daren't count the amount of fence slats we hammered in. It felt like it took forever, whatever forever feels like.

Ro-lawn do some good pre-season deals, I bought full fecue 1m @ £2.80 each trade, I think if your trade you can get mixed for about £2.50 which is still superior to B&Q rubish
