This was an unused plot of land at the back of the garden, turned into a vegetable patch. This is an ongoing project.
From start to finish included lopping back the overhanging trees to the left, taking up the decrepit turf and skinning the garden back to a clean slate.
A decking area was constructed at the back and one further on up by the house. New turf was then laid and then a new slabbed patio area put down. A new fence to replace the broken one finished off the job, then work inside the house commenced.
This job proved to be somewhat of a surprise!
The back fence needed moving back by fifteen feet, only, what was behind was something to behold. What you can see in the pictures was what turned out to be three builders skips worth of all types of rubbish, left from the previous owner. The rubbish consisted of bikes, asbestos, household rubbish, self seeded trees. When I finally moved the fence back after the rubbish had been removed we noticed the garden actually backed on to a communal garden in Kings Heath, something which proved to be a welcome surprise.
The customer wanted a low-maintenance garden, so after removing all the unwanted plants, weeds and shrubs I proceeded to lay two tons of gravel.
