Garden

 I hope throughout this post you will be able to feel my happiness on the finished results in the garden, these photo's show the area with nothing back in place, we are waiting for a while before replacing the pots and furniture, some will stay where they are until next spring. 

The whole area is flat, which was our 1st request, having said that, there is a small rise by the garage to the back path, but it's so gentle, you can't see it. We decided to keep the step by the back door, it made sense, and we have got used to it being there. 

We are both excited and can't wait for next spring to be out using all our space, the changes made other than decking area is the same space, but from the kitchen door to the garage is huge, so much workable space. It was expensive, the most we spent in years  but worth every penny.

From the back looking towards the house, every angle is just perfection, I pulled out my plan and other than one change, which we asked for he has given us everything. I am very happy with the oblong lawn all the weird angles have gone, less places for the grandchildren to trip.

Such neat lines

I am so pleased, it did take longer than we expected, but we had a few rainy days and our landscaper took two days to recover from a nasty cold. Hubby has been on our local social media pages singing his praises, as well as doing as we asked, he kept us informed, and was very polite and a tidy worker, I'm sure the tea and bacon sarnies helped him. Here you can see how it looked before the works. 

It's not finished, in the new year, our metal table and chairs and the metal gates need repainting green to match the garage door, we were going to change colour on table and chairs, but we have changed our minds and saved money and work. The half wall behind the side bed needs painting white and the walls around the extension need rendering. It's never finished, but it's looking bloody marvellous, we are both happy, rearranging the seating area last summer, helped us to plan our perfect outside space.
