The Terrace

With the help of Nicola's dad and uncle Bruce, we've made a start on our "let's terrace the garden" project. So far, we've cleared most of the garden of weeds (although further applications of spray are needed) and uprooted a number of troublesome plants. Last weekend we levelled the area outside the cellar (some say "dungeon") door, and laid some weed matting, sand and paving stones. The result looks pretty good:

We're waiting for a good deluge of rain, so that the ground can settle and we can see whether we need to re-lay some of the paving, as I suspect there may be a bit of a dip...

After that, we are looking at the rest of the garden and thinking about putting in some retaining walls to terrace that as well.
