Garden work is finally complete. I am going to celebrate with a shower and then veg on the sofa for the afternoon.
A lot of dirt was moved. Pigeons supervised, but refused to help
The back yard looks even more patchy than when I started, but should improve once the grass grows in.
I think if I top dress the grass again in Autumn I can fill in the lower spots a bit more, and the extra sand should help with drainage and hopefully I won't have the wet spots that hold water after rain.
Wet spots? Tree homes!
it's going to look great, you've put in the hard work and made a well designed garden , it will pay off with enjoyment all seasons :)
