Day 302 - Landscaping

The landscaping is mostly done and looks very smart.

At the front we have natural stone chippings and a pathway to the front door.. Hopefully this will keep the planners happy.

The incomplete part is a widening of the dropped kerb. We have kicked the process off with the local council, but letter received today said they will come and review the site within the next 3 months!! And that's just review the site, not actually widen the drop kerb!






Neat drain cover in the path


Patio, Pebble drain & new Lawn


Beds and brick perches and what I managed to salvage of the lilac bush


Side Alley landscaping

Day 260 - Rear Patio

More progress at the back of the property...

 
The first of the natural stone slabs have been laid

 
This was another one where you have to choose slabs from a picture in a catalogue without much idea of how they'll really look.

We're pleased with these though, if they look this nice on a cloudy day in March they can only look better bathed in sunlight, right?!


Rest of the stones waiting to be fitted


And the drainage runs that have to be fitted between the patio and the lawn - I know, what lawn?!
