Rear garden landscaping

With the assistance of a couple of neighbours, David spent much of the spring and summer of 2020 re-landscaping the rear garden, which was made much easier by the wonderful weather!

The project provided an opportunity to develop new skills in laying foundations, brick-laying, rendering  and slab-laying, and involved substantial heavy-lifting – a great way to keep fit!
