Thanks Andy. The lawn lasted through the Autumn and through to Christmas right until the snow descended upon us and the frost. Since then it has looked like this. Is it worth getting some lawn seed / lawn feed to encourage growth?

Hi there. I had some turf laid last Spring / Summer however due to the severe cold temperatures we experienced over Christmas, the lawn took a severe battering:- Any suggestions on how to repair it or shall I just start again with new turf? Thanks

Thanks guys. I've had a look for suppliers in the UK and they only seem to sell it in 3-litre pots. Are people aware of whether you can buy bulbs for this plant as trying to dig a whole in the enbankment to plant a 3-litre plant will be a nightmare so I'm looking for either smaller sizes of...

Hey guys. We live opposite a set of metal railings (similar to those that run alongside railway lines to stop people crossing them. They are slatted railings about 3m high. They span the length of our road (approximately 100m). There is a soil embankment a few foot wide in front of the...

I'm doing some garden work and have recently dug away the soil in front of the airbricks so the soil level is below the airbricks and damp course If you look at the first image, you will see a gap between the foundation and the brick to the left of the airbrick. This gap has kind...

I'm looking at laying some paving in my front garden and I need to remove quite a bit of soil / rubble as my garden has previously been resting a little bit higher than the airbricks. I've dug away the soil and stone from in front of the airbrick however it would appear that there is a gap...

Hahahaha :) Surely there is something?? You've got me thinking now about growing my own mushrooms lol

I'm revamping my small little rear yard. I am looking at getting some plants which will be fine outside all year round in Northern England and also plants that don't require much sunlight (if any at all). Likewise, I'm after a few nice climbers that will flower throughout the year to put up...

We've planted a few lovely planters for our small back garden and have put a bit of bamboo covering on the walls with a few window baskets attached so our back YARD is now looking a little more like a garden. My only gripe now is that the whole of the floor is concreted quite poorly. Is there...

My wastepipe seems to be leaking in the back garden. It seems to be leaking at the base - as if the concrete has cracked. I've rang my waste / water cover but they've said as it's not an emergency, I'm not covered. Is there a way of DIY'ing and fix this problem?

Thanks for the reply Woody. Yes this is a cavity wall. Whether or not a cavity tray was installed or not though, I don't know. I did complain at the time to the structural surveyor who was instructed to carry out the work but he simply just dismissed my comments, stating that he was the...

We have lived in our home for over 2 years and we recently had to get some structural work done as part of the mortgage deal as the front aspect of the house had a bow in it. During this work, they rebuild the front wall directly above the downstairs window up until the bedroom window. The...
