Sand and chippings coming some time today - so should have the ground ready for topsoil this weekend

 

[jowwy]

So the step is now in and i have starting filling up the first 150mm of the slope

 

[jowwy]

More work today as i squared up and extended the gravel path that use to be grass, but just stays boggy in the winter as no sun gets to that area……..so some more 6x2s cut and 40 unwanted slabs and 20 edge stands was smashed up to help fill the void, before more pea gravel is added, before some decorative stuff is added to the top.

 

[jowwy]

more timber ordered today, to finish all the surroundings......also started the small deck extension on the side for the kitchen/eating area

 

[jowwy]

Picked up the deckboards earlier, so plan is to get the deck finished on the weekend, then start building the surrounding planter boxes for privacey………its all slowly coming together.

 

[jowwy]

Finished the new planter boxes earlier….

so they have gone from this



to looking like this





Will get them all refilled now with topsoil and compost, ready for the new plants in spring/summer. Just got to do the one on the right side of the pergola now, to match them up.

It looks really nice and all those lovely nutrients you have added is going to promote a lot of growth. Is it not a bit early for seeding as I thought you need a ground temperature of over 10 degrees? I have a lot of bare patches that a visiting dog created in my lawn that I am itching to repair but have been holding off for warmer weather.
