My own garden update after 2 years since starting!!

This poor Apple tree was neglected for years. All dead, damaged, crossing branches removed allowing air circulation and sunlight to reach all branches giving the tree a new life. 2 hours of pruning later…

Time for an update! A small gravelling job completed during the very cold spell. Around 2 tons of soil removed to a depth of 5 inches, good quality heavy duty weed membrane laid and then filled with 20mm gravel. Much improved!

Another one of my own projects.. An unloved patio area transformed into a private secret wildlife retreat! Excited to spot my first guest.. A newt!

My own garden created during my spare time over around 6 months. Finally getting there!

Here I dug out all the weeds, brambles and ivy, laid weed membrane and added nearly 2 ton of 20mm gravel.

Today’s job was giving this Pyracantha hedge a much needed major trim! Reduced in width by approx half and all cuttings taken away. Much better!

First cut of the season!

I do love a project! Around 4 tons of soil and stone removed, Lovely solid oak reclaimed sleepers added for raised beds, high quality membrane laid and 3 tons of 20mm gravel laid creating a nice thick weed resistant layer… MUCH lower maintenance! 🙂 

Spring has arrived! Lovely day, perfect for chopping this overgrown conifer down. All waste shredded and taken away. One very happy customer! 🙂
