is that having turf on the front Giles or planting area

I know you mentioned months back about having resin bound gravel or resin bonded gravel I cant remember now but I think the tarmac looks good against the colour of the house

low planting, its all dictated by planners, 64 conditions on the granting of planning!!!

the resin guy was an idiot, tried to tell me that type 1 mot was a porus sub base and he was going to lay straight onto the mot, i disagreed... he was salesman and pushy and not a tradesman. spoke to the gaffer while he was on site and then got rid. he wanted about Â£52/m to lay on the mot.

yeah asphalt with 2 granite cobbles edgers should look nice enough, our surfacing lads are top notch as well.

plant guy coming next week, 5 guys 2 days and a big wagon that will make a massive difference. but need 60x5ft tall and 10x 6ft tall holly bushes and none around after that late frost, so everyone saying november for bare rooted

surprised that the designer wanted so much holly
I am a big fan of holly but for some reason landscape architects hate it with a passion
looks a tidy house

the holly is for a screening hedge from the wall tothe right of the digger rd, screening the fecning the 6ft ones

then the 5ft ones going behind the railings to over some privacy as no walls or fences allowed.

Giles you could get them in tubs from holland delivered within the week if you spoke to the right nurseryman.
