Replacement for Lawn

That's what we did with ours. We have a 92ft long garden which was mostly lawn. DH and his son dug that up completely (stripped everything out), and created 6 large planting beds for our cottage garden. The rest was laid as a wide path and two 'arms' each side with York stone slabs and stone rolled-top edging by DH alone over a couple of days - I think they came to around £800. Pretty pricy but they'll never need replacing, and they look fab.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0 -
If you want flower/plants which your dog cannot foul/knock over create some raised flowerbeds.0
