After a bit of strimming it looks a little better.
Day two - we took to the trees and bushes with a chainsaw, trimming branches. We were amazed how much bigger the garden looked. We just have to get rid of the rubbish. Thank goodness there is a council clean up in a week.
Still a bit to go down the back.
Few hours later!!!
We hired a stump grinder for the day to get rid of the old stumps......not a bad little tool. Quite easy to use and quick.
This area did have a heap of privet stumps and a huge pile of wood.
This is the biggest stump we had to tackle.
That afternoon....no more stumps.
View from "what will be" the deck. Still a little work is needed.
View to the right.
We decided to call in the professionals to lay some turf, they arrived early Saturday morning.
After a few hours things are looking better.
Even later that day, we have grass........beautiful grass!!
The Veggie patch and Frangipani look much better.
Our orange tree.
Grass all down and looking like backyards should. We just need to sort out the decking now.
View towards the back of the house.

Nice turf! It has been extremely hot recently, hope your grass survived the heat! Some of mine were already dead....
Cheers

Thanks! The grass is still good. We mangaged to go around to the house and water it twice a day. The first 2 weeks are important as the grass is still setting in.
