• Cheers all. Sounds like the turfing should be pretty doable so I can ignore my girlfriend's suggestion of fake grass.

    It's south facing. Anti-climb spikes are an option but they're all pretty ugly so far as I've seen. Anyone any suggestions for nice looking ones? I like the idea of blackberries or berberis for stuff to eat for me or the birds but I guess that it may not be the best idea in a small garden with a small child.

  • Pop a 1ft trellis up, things grow quicker along trellis and they are not easy to climb over without breaking them and making a lot of noise. There’s the added benefit that in breaking the trellis you get long spikes of wood that can puncture a spleen.

    For plant ideas on the trellis, a nice bee friendly jasmine. Not spiky and the smell will fill the garden.

  • 1ft trellis going above the top of the wall or somewhere else? I do fancy something bird or insect friendly. This being the first garden I'll own is going to lead to a lot of questions.
