So it was over a month ago that I started my first gardening job, now I have a small number of clients who all wish to have their gardens spruced up.
I took on an opportunity to sort out the garden for one of them, firstly to reshape a conifer and rehouse a small tree....unfortunalety I think this has had it's day. The rest of the work, which involved a certain amount of back-breaking labour, was to remove old concrete and slabs, remove a pond, repair a wall and open up a gap in the same dwarf wall.
Then lay slab pathway, mortar them in, lay edging stones, level off the area that was originally slabbed and lay topsoil and turf...phew had I taken on a bit too much?? Moving one ton of topsoil and laying 30m2 of turf is fun....
Anyway it's almost complete just a few little tidying up jobs to do..........note to self, don't take on large project at beginning of work cycle!! Start off with smaller jobs and move up later.....
