Thanks. 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.

It's Andres mate. Irish/ Spanish

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

Looks great now, all green!

...but how long will that last?

Grasscrete has a bad habit of developing alopaecia after a few months.

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.

Only another 18 months to go and it's out of my hands

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

There is something very satisfying about seeing rain all run towards the gulley without any ponding or slow areas to drain!

That must have been some bloody huge snail/slug to leave a trail like that! :p
