    Right this is the bottom of our garden now changed .We have grass at the top so it was nice to have this as more usable as such!
    (sorry if pics huge not sure how to make small!)

    old waterlogged grass..that had no sum and was laways wet and wonky!

    Looks lovely. Did you keep the ginger thing or did that go with the old turf and bark chips!

    That looks lovely, very impressive. I'm kind of glad I couldn't work out how to post pics as mine would look even worse next to yours. Well done.

    I don't know if this will work but here is the scabby garden complete with burnt grass, patchy holes in the garden, weed infested paving slabs etc. what a depressing sight!

    Your local gardener is right, either you keep the dogs off it, or you have a "doggy" garden.
    Astroturf? Imagine that with some dog mess on it? I think I'd rather have mud.

    Artificial grass isn't bad for dogs, you just have to take a hose to it...
