Our team ripped out the decking and prepared the ground for a new lawn. This involved removing bamboo which had strayed from a neighbouring garden along with chunks of old concrete.

We prepared the ground around these two square raised beds for a new chard flint gravelled area. It will be much nicer walking through on gravel towards the lawn when it is complete.

Towards the end of the week we began building a long raised bed out of sleepers. We used a chop saw to cut the pieces to the desired lengths. Once built we lined the sleeper bed to protect the wood from moisture in the soil.

It’s been a busy week landscaping and we’re looking forward to completing this design on Monday. Come back to our blog next week to see the finished result of this garden!
