• If you want to grow anything then the tarmac has to go. The raw space has good potential though.

    Are you keeping that shed/garage/thing with the large hole near the roofline?

  • Yeah, I like the space - There's lots of potential, the garden also extends behind the 2 garages to the left, but wouldn't get masses of light, so I'm thinking further storage/BBQ area. Unfortunately this became a dumping ground for the past 20 years it seems and is work in progress to clear.

    The garage - Yeah we'll be keeping it as it's storing a LOT of our crap. It's had a hard life after intensive ivy growth and a lack of maintenance. That was hard work to remove. As you noted, I need to repair the wall a little and think about replacing the asbestos roof...

    @Andyp My partner and I have agreed on raised beds, at least around the back and right-hand edges, so that we can lay something down for access to the side-garage door. Your thoughts on mitigating flash-flooding are a good idea and an another reason to go with a lawn, as well as for the kids.

    Ballpark ££ for digging up the tarmac/concrete?
