Simple Low Maintenance

The brief for this job was to clear the over grown garden, and put something in that would require little or no maintenance.   There was also a pile of waste to get rid of, fortunately we are licensed waste carriers so this was not a problem.












First off we had to clear all the weeds out and get that rather large tree stump out the way.

Next stage was to lay some landscape membrane, to make a nice edge, hold down the membrane and to retain the gravel that was going in latter we laid a line of my favourite rope top edging along the edge of the concrete patio that was being left.

Finally the gravel goes down, a few stepping stones added, and that's the job done.   I would have liked to introduce some planting or maybe some sort feature to add a bit of height but that did not fit with the owners requirement for minimal maintenance, and low cost.

We have been back once, a year later t repair the fence and weed the gravel, now that's what I call low maintenance!!
