My front 'garden' is basically a pit surrounded by a hedge on 3 sides and the front of the house. From street level you go down 3 steps but then 2 steps up into the house. I'm mid terrace with everyone else leveled for parking.
Before I get 'professional' help, is there a quick way to fill it up? I want to fill it up with stones. Use the plastic water permiable sheets against the wall, maybe an upright pipe for the drain the corner. Or should it be impermeable against the wall of the house to stop water getting in? I'd don't have drainage issues at the moment, how do I keep it that way?
Also, the hedge needs to go. I fucking hate the bastard. I'm thinking a small wooden fence a foot high.
Id like some hive mind advice please.
