Hi,
After a couple of years trying to get the front lawn looking acceptable it's proving impossible, due to the poor quality soil which is 50% stones and the lack of sun it gets. We had some scaffolding up and it has now ended up this bad and I've decided I'm going to astro turf it.
What else annoys me is the front of the garden, the soil is on a slope and it looks awful as well as showing the cement holding the fence posts in etc.
I'm looking for any people out there who have any ideas what I can do. I'm no landscaper but I will happily get stuck into anything with a bit of reading up.
I was thinking of either a timber or brick wall about 2ft high and level off with soil to create a sort of flower bed. The issue I will worry about then is any plants/ flowers that we plant there will get less sunlight as they are closer to the tree leaves?
I know it's never going to look amazing but I just want it to look half acceptable.
Any advice would be really helpful, thanks
