Our very own Urban Eden......!

Well, we bought a house 3 years ago which needed an awful lot of work doing, having finished the house the cherry on the top was to start on the garden, we were determined to have a lovely place to relax as the whole reason we moved was so that we had a garden rather than a yard and we did not fall foul to the 'A mechanics car is always broken' ethos!!!
It took us a while as we had to do it in-between landscaping jobs but here it is from start to finish!!!

Before!




Before!



























Let the work begin! clearing all the over grown trees


Next in line while we still had back access was to strip the turf & fill a skip




Next up was the new fence, strip the render from the wall & build a shed....Not much to do then!!!




Cedar clad shed finished, including a log store and small veranda...Now to start marking out and putting down the sub base....Still a long way to go!!



All done...Just need to wait for the plants to establish & keep on top of it!!
The garden is north facing but still gets plenty of sun as behind the house is not built up, we do still have to keep in mind that the planting close to the house gets very little sun
