Garden Renovation

[Michael Donald]

Hi All,

 

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Michael, 33 years old, Psychological Therapist and I live in Lancashire. I'm hoping to undertake a garden renovation project over the next couple of summers and would appreciate any advice I can get. I'll post some pictures shortly, including the 'plans' I have, which include raised beds (rendered concrete blocks), composite decking, artificial turf and a porcelain patio. I'm hoping to do most of the work myself!

 

Cheers,

Michael

You might also be interested in The Paving Expert website as it has tons of stuff relating to hard landscaping, such as drainage, retaining walls, paving, paths, patios etc..

Welcome!

 

Hope your mind can be changed on the ecological disaster that is artificial turf!

[Michael Donald]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out.

 

Mike, I'm open-minded and my plans aren't set in stone. what are your reasons for not liking artificial turf as opposed to a lawn?

My kids didn't like playing rugby on artificial turf. Too many carpet burns.
