New build end of terrace - Advice needed, sloping street
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 9:52 am
Hi everyone.
We recently moved into a new build property which is an end of terrace, the house is lovely and the garden has high fencing for the dog and is perfect apart from its natural slope due to being on a sloped road.
I have included some image for you to see. I do have some ideas but would like some help so that when I approach a gardening/landscape service I know what I am looking at.
1: The side of the house where the dip is which leads upto the gas/electric boxes, I would like to completely remove all planting/soil and level this off with either tarmac or some other recommendation as I am unable to ultilize this space, it also drags in all rubbish so cannot use as a garden area even if I was to fence it off. The other alternative would be to extend the main garden out which I have had permission for and then do some decking to level off on the inside as that will leave a big slope and unfinished paving/garden.
2: From the front door, around the front I would like this fenced off with a front or side entrance gate. The flowers and existing gravel/clay can be removed and replaced with either new topsoil and plants re-planted or stone gravel so I can then put pots down. This should be the simplest to do.
Thankyou very much.
