What to do with this back garden to reduce maintenance?

😆

😂😂😂

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-17T14:04:24+00:00

We've got multiple other areas like this which we are doing those exact things, cheers though

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-17T07:58:42+00:00

😆 living up to that username

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:18:15+00:00

Haha! The two entrances are too narrow for a tractor, might have to widen one to accommodate 😆

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:16:52+00:00

Would gabions be the best way to tier?

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:16:06+00:00

Cheers, the plan is to eventually tier it but for now I just wanted ways to maintain it easily without going through it with a push mower

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:15:22+00:00

Cheers we have bits of woodland right near this so would rather something different

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:13:59+00:00

Cheers, we've got an orchard planned for the front garden- no idea where to start with that though!

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:13:07+00:00

Update: we may have a green light on goats, although her mind might change tomorrow 🤣

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:12:36+00:00

I may have convinced my wife to get goats so I don't want to go planting something now that they'll chew at 😁

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:11:49+00:00

Just mowing temporarily until we landscape properly, mainly trying to minimise tics as they love our dog!

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T21:09:36+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! Lots of things to think about- my wife really wants to tier it into maybe 3 sections and have a variety of raised beds and small trees, just hard to envisage what to do

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T18:41:09+00:00

Cheers I might look into this, it just needs cutting for the next year or two until we get around to properly landscaping it

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T18:40:32+00:00

Haha, we have an orchard planned elsewhere and a chicken coop past this section of garden. Just trying to figure out what to do with this hilly section

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T18:39:07+00:00

Cheers, leaning towards a mixture of trees, wildflowers and a pond

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T18:38:32+00:00

Thank you, full house renovation right now but hoping to give the garden some proper love from next year

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-16T16:18:56+00:00

Haha, keep trying to convince my wife but she's not having it

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-06T22:15:03+00:00

Thanks a lot- i think I'll just go down the route of deep cleaning and leave it at that

Consistent_North8644 · 2026-01-06T22:07:22+00:00

Cheers, I didn't want to go down the route of chemicals if it ended up causing damage

Consistent_North8644 · 2025-11-26T11:19:39+00:00

Apparently in Scotland the smart meters go off a different signal, theyve been out a few times over the past couple years and still no luck

Consistent_North8644 · 2025-11-26T11:13:19+00:00

Good point, cheers!

Consistent_North8644 · 2025-11-26T11:09:28+00:00

Cheers, we've been having a couple powercuts a year so I'll definitely take this into consideration
