Hi all
Ive been doing a house renovation. The inside is fairly finished. Im now turning my attention to the outside. I want a low maintenance garden, but with lots of green and some colour. Im also on a very very limited budget.
As you can see from the photos, the garden is currently a complete tip. Lots of clay and rubble.
My initial thoughts are to have ground cover (minimal maintenance) to the front of the house. I will never use this garden as its by the road. So as long as its green with a bit of colour and very low maintenace then that will do. I also want to gravel the front pathway/either side of the front door.
The side and back (see last photo) I was thinking of having it lawned.
The side of the house (white chimney) is south.
Ive got no experience of gardening or landscaping, so any recommendations and advice is greatly received!
