    Having had my garden landscaped 12 months ago, trust me when I say you saved yourself way more than £15k. Fantastic job, well done! 😀

      @@JC-qf1jd yes, I live on a corner plot on a hill and I had my front garden which wraps around the front and side going all the way to the end of my back garden completely changed. It was steeply sloped so I had it reconstructed onto 3 levels. I also used sleepers horizontally but I had them embedded into my lawn so I can walk from one level to the next while cutting the lawn with my mower. Top level is flower beds, middle all lawn, lower a mixture of both lawn and flower beds. Plus footpath from garden gate and driveway. Because of the expense it was done in stages but well worth it. I get many compliments on how unusual it is having the sleepers rise out of the lawn and then sink back into the lawn the other side of the house. I chose a landscaper I knew well, he was quite expensive compared to others in my area but I knew he did exceptional work. 🙂

    Wow what a huge transformation and a lot of back breaking work! What a wonderful place to relax. And for those who complained there wasn't any gardening, he did say planting to follow. Not everyone wants the work of tending and weeding huge gardens, please show us the finished project after you plant. I can't wait to seenthe rest!😊

    Top notch work. It's especially nice to see the French drain and that you left a small strip of gravel right next to the house. Shows that you understand the drainage of a sloped yard. The remodel itself is great, but those details mean that it'll still look like that 20 years from now. Great job!

    The amount of hard labour that you have put in does credit to you.I love the split level garden and the way you have created the steps. That patio area! Actually I am blown away by this.My garden is very different to yours.I have high trees on two sides that are a haven for local bird life but outside my garden,and my neighbours gardens, the surrounding area consists of an industrial estate.My trees give me privacy and hidden awayness, if there is such a term, that is quite magical to me.
    Choose your plants carefully please.Scents are wonderful.Honeysuckle attracts bees.Things like that.I do envy you your lawns but I know the amount of work that goes into them to keep them neat and I am lazy.I have transformed my paths and patio with welsh state and I had to rebuild my patio in order to do it.One man and stubbornness.. Enjoy your garden.It deserves you.
