I intend to barrow in 3 tonnes oftopsoil into this area, establish the level against the hard standing and turf the 24 sq metres, to lay just proud of the hard standing.
The existing lawn on the other side of the path is a different matter, it is 5 metres wide by 17 metres long (85 sq metres) so I am going to bite the bullet and get a contractor to give that side the same treatment.

Re: Up The Garden Path
Couldn't get the UPVc to finish the Garage Door off, so back onto the Path, I have now reached the Shed where, the path will extend in front of. The shed was bought for me by my dear departed sister some 18 years ago and, is now in need of some TLC, so, whilst I wait for the Landscaper to sort the lawns out, I am going to unbolt it, check and treat the panels accordingly, then, remake the roof using "A Panel Supports", to make the roof less prone to warping and providing storage for model aircraft wings etc.

Re: Up The Garden Path
Now we have a dilemma, I have 9 slabs to go and have run out of sharp sand. do I break my rules of the last three months and join the queue at B&Q or, do I wait till the morning and go to the garden centre where it is delivered to your car, with distances respected. The path can wait another day.|
