Garden - Landscaping

The area to the left of the decking needed some work. It was full of old slabs which were sitting on bricks. All of which were removed and put into a skip. 

Before:

Work in progress:

















 Starting to load the skip:


  Even more:

Cotswold gravel has arrived. All 850kg of it, which will need taking through to the back of the house:

Landscape fabric rolled out to prevent weeds penetrating through:

Gravel raked out. Notice the border edging to keep the gravel in and off the lawn:

Looking good:

...Except for the outdoor WC which needed some TLC. Here is a before picture:

After:

The back of the garden needed some attention. Unfortunately there are no 'before' pictures, just work in progress as we needed to fill the skip quickly. The whole of the back half of the garden was covered in bricks and logs from trees which had been cut down. This area was about 3 foot high in bricks. They were skipped by the time this picture was taken. As you can see, there was carpet (among other  found in the back garden too! 
 Logs and branches. The majority of this mess was already skipped by the time this picture was taken:
