We moved in the new house on the 28th august 
loving having space, especially coming from a cramped small 2 bed to this huge 3 bed! but most of all im loving our garden, it needs alot of work, but thats a challenge im looking forward to.
this is the before , of the green area, theres 2 patios, and a decking veranda nearer the house,




At the bottom of the garden, will be a shed, a green house and the husbands workshop for our buisness

You've been busy! Now everything's cleared, good chance to redo the fence panels in a single colour stain/preservative0

Be careful with chainsaws near the ground, you run the risk of hitting something hard and it kicking back. Not worth it0

Congratulations
It is always exciting to get a new garden!
What do you want from your garden? Somewhere just for relaxation or are you looking for fruit, veg, children's play areas…...Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0 -
Id liike to be able to grow veg, and it'll be the kids garden to play too, i have the decking for relaxing

I have my husbands gran who grows cucumber which my eldest son loves, so will be nice to provide them for him

Thank you,
well the corner to the right at the bottom has now been cleared and a root pulled out, so is ready for the husbands shed to put up sometime in the nexzt 5 days, depending on the father in laws availability
ive purchased some of those herb pots you can get fromm tescos and repotted those in some bigger tubs, and have them by the walls in the garden for now, also got a cute 3 point planter box and done some hyacinth, as thats my all time favourite flower
Cant wait to continue getting the tree roots gone
