My Garden before and after for about £35

Still have a few things to do but am keeping my eyes open on freecycle as I want a few new fence panels to replace the broken ones that seperate the lawn from the patio and I want a couple of big tubs to plant some tropical looking plants.
Hopefully the pics will show even if you have no money you can transform your garden to something pleasent.

Patio with an offcut of tuff turf I got very cheap for the dogs to use as thier loo.







Thanks for looking :grin:

My goodness MM ...... what a transformation! Well done, it looks great and some flower tubs/pots will finish it off nicely.

It's surprising what can be done if you set your heart to it...... hopefully you can spend some nice, warm summer days out there now!

Thankyou its so practical with the dogs too as no more mud and they don't need to go down onto the lawn for the toilet as they have thier own bit of artificial grass at the end of the patio.

Re: My Garden before and after for about £35

Wow it looks great MM - and what a bargain!

Re: My Garden before and after for about £35

Thanks. Yes it is a bargain, I already had the slabs from a couple of years ago and most were down, just needed the last ones down and some drainage put in hence some slabs lifted and the stones at £1 a bag put in places.
The turf was rather sad and yellow looking when I got it from people off freecycycle but with watering and care over the last couple of weeks it has transformed and is now beautiful.
The most expensive thing was the off cut of tuff turf, which the chap dropped off yesterday as he was passing and luckily even though its not real grass my dogs used it straight away

Re: My Garden before and after for about £35

Nice one MM, a true gardeners heart getting something done for as little as possible, it looks so green and clean.
