Help with garden project - UK
Hi everyone,
I am hoping to revamp my garden this year.
No major change, but our shed is literally falling apart, and the small slabs of stone it is on is not level anymore.
Hopefully the photos show what I am talking about. But we have quite a small entrance into our garden, i plan to remove whats left of the fence that keeps the bins together to make the whole entrance much bigger.
I have two children and also family friends with kids than wander in out the garden all the time. So its a busy area.
I was thinking of just getting pavement slabs on Marketplace for a cheap price, i'll measure how for how many pieces i'll need.
The ground is quite swamp like, so digging it up, putting down materials (aggregate? A1? mesh for weeds etc?)
Not too clued up on yet. I know YouTube is very helpful but I just worry if I start this project it will take me significantly longer than expected.
Or shall I just ask a company if they can pour concrete?
There's a drain in a sloped area of the garden. If I were to build the ground around it up a even level like i have tried to show in photos, what do I need to look out for? Of course keeping it clear and not covering it. And If I raise the ground that sits next to the house, what materials do I need to ensure it doesn't come a complete water trap?
Thanks in advance, hopefully what ive mentioned in the above helps paint a picture on what im trying to build.
Ah also,
Our washing line is now starting to lean on one side, its been dug pretty deep. But I hope once our new shed is in place, i'll actually use a post from it to attach to the side of the house and just have a retractable washing line (like a lanyard?) Wheel attached to house. I'll drill a hole and use a setting solution to keep the bolts secure. Havent thought about load for it yet, just an idea.
Thanks in advance.🙂
