I am trying to figure out which raised garden bed to do. I have slight budget restrictions but wanted to know what difference in price will be.
my size for beds will be approx, 800mm by 9m both sides of garden with height of approx 600mm.
i have thought about doing block with, then render then paint and for this i will need approx 350-400 blocks. so around £1000 which will include labour and materials. Been quoted £200 for labour to complete this in 2 days. He is doing my garage so will render it when he does my garage so wont charge extra...
Another option is wood based raising. similar size/spec to above. With blocks i can maybe go bit fancy and do some curves etc.... with wood i cant.
so based on above, whats generally cheaper, wood of block? even in terms of less maintenance. If i went for wood option, my dads a carpenter so will save money on labour/fixing just need material but i have no idea what wood to go for hence not sure of price range, where as for block work i know price
any advice will be appreciated.
thanks
