| Doing up the Front - 2003 | ||
| Having got the back garden looking almost as we wanted it, though it's always going to be a work in progress, we've started on the front. But this time it was a case of getting in the professionals. We even have an aerial photo showing the finished garden in 2004 | ||

|
| This was the starting point. The tree had grown too large and the whole thing looked scruffy |
The crazy paving had to go, as did the 60's style wall |
So the man with the digger arrived and pretty soon neither were to be seen |
|
|
|
| Once leveled, it was time for the construction to begin. Start with a strengthening matting |
And a heavy compactor (which you can see parked on the neighbour's drive) |
The walls were rebuilt in reclaimed brick, sympathetic to the original house-bricks |
|
|
|
| We are keeping a little bit of garden so that we can 'green' it up a bit later |
We went to work one day and, when we got home, the paving was virtually complete |
The house originally had a front gate as well as a drive, so that was included in the plans |
