Yeah I talked them out of picket fence with round top 4 inch posts and into 5 inch peaked top ones. 6 for the gate posts ofc. Mortised the mortices by hand cos I wanted 4x2 PAR rails for a nice robust finish. I'm happy with it. Handed out 2 biz cards whilst there to passers by. They're repeat biz. On that topic I may just endure checkatrade for another year until I'm getting more repeats.

Yes Giles, they're thin plastic, just melt the tops off with a flame torch and fill them with topsoil.

It needs mowing now it's grown so much! The area isn't getting trafficked too much either so I think this will look good all year round.

Another job that turned out well - 450m2 domestic driveway and courtyard area kerbed, additional drainage installed, trimmed and surfaced.
