Kid Dynamite 5906 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I put my week off to good use and sorted my garden. Last week it was a big patch of weed covered grass. Now its. . . . Might be nowt flash but it surprising how much satisfaction you get out of DIY when you own your own place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I don't believe you laid that decking yourself, you maybe painted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldstott 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Your next door neighbours have got the same B+Q plum slate chippings as I've got. Good job on the decking, I recently did mine and it's satisfying when it comes off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5906 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 That middle fence post needs another coat of creosote tbh. Theres 2 of them like that, they were warping so I turned them round and they had no stain on the other side. As for the decking, my mate does it for a living, I just lent a hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13844 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I prefer yards these days anyway. At the end of the day you want somewhere to sit and be comfortable, looks like it will do the job. Grass is annoying as fuck unless you are a keen gardener who will enjoy flowers and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 These fashionable 'gardens' with the chippings, trendy pot plants, stones and decking look fine but to me they lack charm and individuality, I find them cold. I prefer a 'real' cottage style garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a 'real' cottage style garden. Well I think that's down to money & time. You'll find the most comfortable gardens have normally had a few years work put in I imagine. Not a week for a garden to entertain under 40's (probably) and people who probably aren't into to gardening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is annoying as fuck unless you are a keen gardener who will enjoy flowers and stuff. Aye my mate who's a gardener (does Alnwick gardens and the like, not just local house lawns) says there's no point in a lawn unless it's large enough to need a ride-on. Better to get it paved and have flowering plants dotted around the edges or in islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13844 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yea I can imagine he's right. The last lawn that was mine to look after I ignored and it was fucking rank. Then there was one we got mowed for us at uni, that was cool but for me I don't see if it's worth having if you aren't really going to use it. If it's for display, a few plant pots, some decking, a chimenea or a patio heater will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
