    Ideas pls - to make my muddy garden presentable on a budget

    thanks for the replys, I will take a look at that link too. Concrete or pattern imprinted was the original plan of action but the costs are now well out of my league. Decking is probably the plan of action for the back, but I'll hit that at a later date, for now I need to make the front...

    Ideas pls - to make my muddy garden presentable on a budget

    hi... thx for the reply I had wood chippings on there at one point, they got all over even with borders so I reluctant to use a loose surface... but I won't rule it out. Plants in tubs/buckets would be a good decorative the plan I think. Would look great on deckin if I did that at the back...

    pattern imprinted concrete

    certainly seems to be a love it or hate it thing like it myself, I have neighbours with PIC and the have been happy with it for the last 5 years, it's not even needed re-sealing, you can not see the control joints unless you really look for them
