My Garden Build - Phase 1 - Days 2 & 3

Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 March 2010Day 2: Following the negotiations with our neighbour (mentioned in my previous blog), the landscapers returned to remove and replace the left-hand timber fence panels and also to remove a problematic bamboo that our neighbour wanted rid of. I was happy to see the bamboo go as, although beautiful, it had spread into our garden and I was concerned that it would interfere with the new hedge. The bamboo had been planted through membrane which was then covered in gravel and rocks so it proved to be a pretty tough job!The awful wet weather & a flat tyre on the landscaper's trailer didn't help, but they are such a great team that nothing dampened their cheerful spirits. It's always a pleasure having them on site.After removing the old fence and bamboo, any other 'wayward' roots that had made their way under the fence were trimmed to make room for the hedging whips. The new fence panels were then installed which instantly made the boundary look so much smarter.Day 3: Sunday was the only window of opportunity to get the fence painted prior to hedge planting on Monday, so we were delighted that it turned out to be a lovely sunny day. This was tackled by my other half and my son and I was very pleased with the result. My son works better when attached to his iPod!Things were coming along nicely!

    Hi Elizabeth

    It's looking good...and I like your choice of colour :)

    Don't forget to link day one blog post to days two and three blog post (and vice versa).
  • Hi Philip,

    Thanks, will try to figure out how to link blogs. Have to admit am struggling a little with formatting but at least have figured out how to reduce photo size!!

    All the best,

    Libby
  • Well 2 days of landscaper's work - they also did more prep for planting; digging in compost etc. & took all of the heavy rubbish away - once the trailer had a new tyre!

    Hmm yes they are rather large headphones!

    Yes we're very blessed with good views from the garden, it's just a shame about the road noise - ah well you can't have everything I guess.
