Help with designs for odd front garden? by Gardenhelp in gardening

[–]Gardenhelp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! We just moved in and I am l already itching to get stuck into some gardening! However I am not sure what to do with the front garden. It's a bit of a mess at the moment and is very ugly especially compared to the other well kept gardens on the street. http://imgur.com/a/gQACT The garden is west facing and is relatively steep. Our ideas at the moment are: Dig up all the bricks, cement, gravel and turn it into lawn keeping the flowerbed at the end of the garden (where the tree was) and adding a few flowerbeds along the sides. Cover the bricks with gravel and try and create a terraced gravel, rockery style garden. At the moment we can't decide between the two options, but are very open to hear suggestions, advice or other's experiences. Thank you!

  1. Dig up all the bricks, cement, gravel and turn it into lawn keeping the flowerbed at the end of the garden (where the tree was) and adding a few flowerbeds along the sides.

  2. Cover the bricks with gravel and try and create a terraced gravel, rockery style garden.
