    Nice garden path, OP, nice decking, Liner33.

    Here's mine - out in the desert, it's miracle that I've got anything green at all! Had some new grass laid recently, and you can see the colour mismatch. but it's a lovely place to spend an evening here in Doha.

    Only landscaped last year and viewed through this afternoon's rain streaked windows, hopefully it will be a riot of colour soon (fingers crossed!)

    Being a sad git, I put a dash of Castrol R in the petrol tank of mine just to give that whiff of "Eau De Goodwood" having just been to the Revival ;-)

    We moved in in August to a 10m by 8m garden, almost entirely grass that sloped up by 1m to the back of the garden. It also inexplicably had 13 small fruit trees. In the third week of april we started working kn it. We've since removed the hill, created raised beds, built a retaining wall from sleepers, taken out roughly 30tonnes of clay and other material. It's taken roughly 300 man hours to get to this point with me and missus working. We've still got a lot to do but we're getting there

    We did used to have a pergola

    When we moved in we had a hillside





    So we got a digger in



    Then after a few years







    Took a rather large sycamore down





    Plan is to make a seat out of the stump

    Recently replaced the decking myself , it had done pretty well as it was down for 15 years and we wont be here for much longer

    That's a smashing job. Well done; looks a lot of hard work

    Show us your garden

    Moved into this house in December 2016. Garden was a mess over grown , huge slope.

    We had 70 tonnes of soil bought in to level out. Had an outdoor kitchen / bar built. Seating area with fire pit. An above ground pool and children’s play area. April of this year we pruned back a lot of trees and cleared out the back and replaced the lawn opposite the play frame with some Astro turf so the kids have a useable space all year .

    Before

    During after

    Some super gardens here.
    Love the fire pit with seating - how does it draw in air?

    We just use logs on top and remove the grill. However I will probably change it for gas one soon and run a pipe to cylinder. Even kiln dried logs can be too smoky .

    Moved in a year ago today. Still work in progress. Another patio section at the back of the garage for an outdoor cooking area is planned.

    It’s not the biggest but it’s a really sun trap plus I prefer to sit in a garden rather than work in one.

    Looking forward to seeing how the Wisteria matures against the garage wall as well.

    Beautiful garden Steve, love the look of your stone built house too. Was it a conversion by any chance?
    Cheers,

    Lammylee - that's beautifully done!

    Excellent use of space and design - really superb. I especially love the main water feature.
    So clever my foot fell off.

    I’ve just finished ripping up 35 square metres of decking out the back garden as it was all rotten and becoming dangerous for the kids. Have someone coming tonight to start work on a new patio. Hoping to have an outdoor kitchen of some form with a pizza oven in the future along with an AstroTurf putting green.

    Some great ideas in this thread

    Bloody hell, some of your gardens (more like grounds) look lovely and that’s coming from a guy who’s not really into anything to do with gardens, leave that to my wife.

    Just to put things into perspective, here’s my tiny by comparison but normal garden

    That elongated drain between the patio and the wall is more than nice! Surely someone had his 'thinking cap on' when he/she designed this garden!

    The entire garden slopes down towards the house so had to be done, I also have drain holes in the wall. No design thought more thrown together.

    Even with that drain, around 10 or so years it rained so heavily that all the wall drains were pouring and the entire patio flooded, was so scared as the water level rose that that I went out, trouser rolled up and barefoot to clear the drain at the end as with the mud it had become semi blocked. Also got out the old pond pump (pond no longer exists with some piping as backup. Was relieved as the water level gradually dropped with just clearing the drain.
