He He, cheers!

Yes still slightly growing in South Wales as well. I am sure that they messed up the drainage for me on the bottom tier, i know they dug trenches in the correct place and had the correct size land drain pipe, but for some reason it's still puddling in a few places! Should i try and sort...

Thanks, thought as much, but just wanted to double check. Grass is boggy at the moment and can't see it being dry long enough for it to be moweble to be honest!

In my last house i had a similar sized driveway that i patio'd, i sloped it to 2 x drainage grids and had a pipe going to a large soakaway i dug, which was around 1.5 meters wide and about waist height. filled it with rubble stones and chippings and i never had a problem. Also to get a good...

And has taken very well, has grown about 3 inches since laid due to the weather getting colder. Should i just forget about it until the spring or should i give it's first cut before it gets really cold? Also any feed over the winter i can give it? Many thanks

Not all bad then

LoL, thanks for the reply, but yes all dug out now :) - actually need to update my pics as the garden is 90% completed.

I agree, i am even going to do the opposite and add worms to my lawn to improve the drainage next year, add sand to the surface add worms and let them do the work :)

I agree nice title :) Just had something done similar in my garden. I had some land drains put in (search on here, lots have had it done and pics). And it has worked a treat!

Thanks, Less than i thought! Mines going to be maybe a third less than that in size & prcie i guess,as the screening & drainage is already done. Congrats again, really nice job!

Cheers, there are so many types, especially from cuprinol, makes it so diffivult, and their not blinking cheap!!

Hi all, need to protect my wooden fence walls, that i have just done using half rounds (soft wood). Can i use the cuprinol decking oil for this, as i like the colour and end result of this, but not sure if it will work the same on the half round soft wood? Also could you ise this on...

Really nice job, congrats! Going to be doing something very similar myself next year. How much di it cost you, if you don't mind me asking? Cheers

My gravel area (enough for 1 car) has been down for almost a year now, i used a very good thick membrane and covered with gravel and i have had no issues with anything coming through, i get the few on the edging as expecting but so far so good. I expect though if i took it up it would look like...

Well been a while but here is the work so far...

Don't think your budget will cover what you want, you will need some decent weed fabric over the area before you put gravel down and you's need at least 2 inches, otherwise you'll juts get bald patches where you walk. Also you could easily spend £200 on Sleepers alone! I'd just do the...

The end of the hose pipe can get worn, try cutting around an inch off the end and try re-connecting usually does the trick for me :)

Cheers! A second look tonight and i think i'll need 3 tons :) which works out pretty good as that's about 2 trailer loads :)

I have just done ten posts using postcrete - Awesome stuff - posts are solid, not sure the make, but it's from B&Q and is yellow bag with blue writing, offer on if you buy 10 bags + i get a 20% discount :) It really made the job quicker, as once one corner went off, ten minute later i could...

errmm, ok, it was just a friendly warning, that text was taken from another website, if the op did not know then it MAY have saved some headache in the future. Kid's love flowers and these are spectacular when in bloom, so it's not hard to imagine parents and children picking these for some...
