    After*:

    *still to do:

    • seal
    • gravel on the right, maybe the left
    • pots back
    • bedding plants - want to take my time as I'm keep to have fewer and make them stand out

    Not 100% sold on the grainny look of the grout, but have limited fucks left at the moment. However, it feels bigger and is a much more usable space. Looking forward to softening up the edges.

  • that looks great and certainly looks like you have more space. We had similar i.e. low retaining walls that made everything feel cramped.

    Seal it sooner rather than later as it is amazing how quickly it gets weathered.

    yes it definitely needs softening and my choice would be gravel both sides with a membrane on the left hand side to aid weed control.

    What is the new black wire on your shed(?) wall and is it permanent?

  • What is the new black wire on your shed(?) wall and is it permanent?

    It's an armoured cable. Idk exactly how it'll be used - but probably for Xmas when we put lights on the dwarf fur tree on the left. I'll put an exterior plug on the left then feed it through a hole in the shed and plug it in occasionally.

    Maybe long term we'll have it wired up properly so we can have lights on the left if we have a seating area there or a pagoda.

    We'll definitely have gravel on the left. But my OH doesn't love the gravel over soil look so there's some negotiation
