I've asked the designer (my cousin's friend) to be a budget conscious Gertrude Jekyll. She laughed and said no worries!
She's a sweetheart. It was so hot yesterday, she was off the nest for hours to cool down and dust bathe.
That sounds wonderful!Me too!!
Seriously, it should be quite nice with a central path to the house, a humble water feature in the centre, frangipanis either side of the path, maybe an arbour over the pedestrian gate for a vine to grow on? There might be bits of turf here and there.
It's all very tentative for now, lots to do before a garden can get underway.That sounds wonderful!
Still, one can imagine......
Yeh!! It's the fun part!
What’s under the plastic?
Compacted new fill - it was previously on sea sand which doesn't hold its shape. They'll pour the concrete into the trenches and over the top of the fill and with the steel running through it. The engineer designed it that way to ensure it wouldn't subside again.
