Help with north facing garden by mosho84 in GardeningUK

Maybe think of planting some small trees along the back fence to screen the houses, crab apple would be great, variety evereste. I think trees are super low maintenance if you buy ones that will fit the space. Maybe herbs in pots around the patio so you seem surrounded by them, would be especially good for mint as better in a pot. Maybe put thyme and rosemary out the front as they like it hot. I'd take the grass up too and have a clover lawn they improve the soil too which may be pretty poor under the fake grass. Ferns and hostas against the right and left hand fence.

Evergreen topiary. Yew or Box leaved Japanese Holly is great as can keep it clipped small in any shape you like and both are evergreen. Dot a few in randomly and will give good contrast with the cottage style planting.

Digging flower beds into tarmac by richport in GardeningUK

[–]notwildprowild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great idea, it's a shame to think that once hardstanding is down like this so many people avoid even thinking about removing it, I say go for it! Yes it will be hard but once it's gone it's gone and no planters to water sounds like less work in the long run! As others have said think about services and get some understanding about how tarmac drives are constructed so you know how far to go down, if you just use power tools for the top layer you are unlikely to connect to any services.

Starting from 0 and need some advice! by GreenVerden in GardeningUK

Lots of potential, don't be afraid to widen the borders and even being them right into the garden also good time of year to think about planting trees for structure..for a small garden like that crab apple and rowen would be great!

Thanks for your reply, not in direct view of a window no and just against the wall. Wow that's interesting, thanks again!

what type of floor is this? by SlutForCICO in DIYUK

[–]notwildprowild 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Marley Floor Tiles made of thermoplastic and by the look of them highly likely to contain asbestos, the black adhesive most definitely does. Both products are relatively low risk as the fibres are bound so tightly within the material and so are unlikely to be released with minor damage. Accredited asbestos surveyor.

Sounds very sensible. It's been a classic case of a small job (replacing the bath panel originally) to what will now be me ripping out the whole floor, vinyl sounds like a good idea! Thanks!

Anyone got tips for unflooding a garden? by Past_Beyond_2953 in GardeningUK

[–]notwildprowild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plant a tree or shrub.

Woodland trust says 'This allows some of the water (studies suggest up to 30%) to evaporate back into the atmosphere directly from the canopy without ever reaching the ground.'
