House Update!!! The Front Garden Has Been Completed πŸ‘πŸ½

in #gardening β€’ 7 years ago

Hi everyone if you've been following some of my other posts you would've seen how bad my front garden was! After 5 hours of bloody hard work and getting fully soaked through by the relentless rain we have finally finished!!!

We first raked all the edges to clear the debris from other earlier projects and collected it in the wheel barrow. Then we cut and layed black porous fabric down the keep weeds at bay. Once this was completed we started to fill them with wood and bark chippings to go around the borders. We then went shopping for some plants and Adrienna (my fiancΓ©e) decided what she wanted to go in the garden.

Once home she placed them where she liked them, we then cut and dug holes for them all to go in. We then covered them in material and covered these with wood chippings also.

The centre had an old sad plant in it so I dragged it out and levelled it off. We created a border using edging stones and dug a hole deep enough to fit out Fir tree! He was starting to out grow his pot so moved him to bigger area 😊

I hope you enjoy the pictures yes it is a little dark and wet, but the weather was rubbish! πŸ˜‚

Thank you!

Well done! The weed barrier was a great idea and will save you lots of time in the future.

Thank you!
That was the plan I don't particularly enjoy weeding haha

It really is beginning to come together. Now you can sit back and enjoy the results. Love the little fir tree. Is it a small variety? If not....it will grow...huge.I planted some at the old house I used to live in. They were tiny little firs, 2feet high. I had a reason to go past the house 10 years later....and it's a forest walk! They are enormous. 😯🌲

We got the tree at Christmas and I said she wasn't allowed a real tree as they're huge......so she came back with this πŸ˜‚ We we're both living at my parents at the time!

The plan is let it grow and chop when big enough and start agian
