One of my colleagues at work told me her husband was setting up as a gardener - she told me this as she needed to get him a waste carriers licence (for taking any rubbish away), as I do this for people all day long as part of my job, I was able to sort her husband out with the required documents (having, of course taken the correct fee for work to bank!!)
I saw a photo of some work done by this chap, and was impressed at how much nicer the space looked after his attention, so we got him to come along and quote to tidy up our garden. The quote was very reasonable, so today the work commenced!
This is the "before" photo.. as you see, the garden is messy, and dosnt have an edge, and its all just slipping down and messing up the front of the house. Nasty!
After a hard days work, Michael and Sheila have transformed our garden into a picture of summer beauty. We are delighted!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh what a difference a day (and a lot of hard work) makes!
If you live in the Rotherham/Sheffield/Doncaster area, and your garden needs some TLC, drop me a line and I will put you in touch with the people who transformed ours :-) We are so happy!!

Wow - it looks really great! Especially smart to put that wee strip of gravel 'round the edge of the house, to keep stuff draining away instead of splashing up.
You won't believe what a difference it will make to your days, looking at that as you leave the house and come home every day. You'll be smiling all the time!
Hi M, there is a little more gravel still to come - our gardner straighted up the jagged edge of our path with some concrete, and when it EVENTUALLY stops raining, he will come back, take the supporting board away and top up the gravel.. we are so pleased with it.. and yes.. every time we look at it we smile!!
We have to save up for part of the back garden to have the same treatment now...
wow- would be really interested.... oh and hello again.. have been lurking for a while xxx
