What would you charge to clear a garden (+60foot) of overgrown trees and plants, brambles across the path and plants in the guttering.

Hi, Im looking to render part of my garden wall. It's not huge and I'm pretty sure I could do it myself. I'm just looking for some advice on which materials I should use and what the ratios should be in the mix. Will any sand do the job? Do I need to add any additives in? I know i'll need plasterciser but should this be in the final coat too? How thick should the coats be? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello all, We are looking to have a patio-esque area in our garden by using slabs. We don’t know if we are best to use paving on these areas as they are or whether we should have a cement layer applied for the area. If anyone has any recommendation or experience with this type of thing, please let us know. Thanks!

My garden is sloped but I would like to put a veg patch and perhaps some decking. What are the steps to leveling a garden? Size of garden is about 6 metres wide and 10-12 metres long.

Can my neighbour cut our boundary hedge without my permission?

Hello, I'd like to make some improvements to my small garden but I am not sure what the best option is. Currently, my garden is covered with paving slabs; it suited my needs for a long while but now I'd like it to have a bit more of a natural look and feel. I'd very much like having real grass, but due to my age, I'd not be able to take care of it. Therefore synthetic/artifical grass is my only option. I did some research and I believe I have two options: 1. Cover the paving slabs with underlay and place the synthetic grass on top of it or 2. Remove the paving slabs and place the synthetic grass. Options 1 appears to be the easiest, but the cost of grass and underlay is high and I'd assume it would not have the soft feel. Options 2 appears to be more labour consuming and possibly the cost would higher than option one. If the paving slabs are removed, is it necessary to lay Sub-Base and Laying Course? Thank you Eva

What ratio builders sand to cement for grouting paving slabs (Indian stone)

Good morning everyone. I want to know what makes a garden low maintenance. How can I turn my garden into a low maintenance garden? I don’t have the energy these days to keep up with all of the cutting/weeding/trimming involved. I want a nice garden that has minimal upkeep.

What flowers are best to attract bees and butterflies into my garden? Do you have tips/advice on how I should lay out these flowers and what colours they should have? Can I confirm that attracting insects to my garden is beneficial to them and to the ecological system in general? I want to play my part in helping out.

We’ve had a beautiful patio laid by a professional. Pale grey mottled granite style slabs. The gaps were filled with a dry sand/cement mix. Whilst it was being done I queried the colour as it was very yellow, but was assured it would turn grey. A month on, it’s still yellow. It cost a fortune and I’m gutted. The yellow mix has also bled around the edges oF the tiles, obviously wouldn’t have been noticeable if it had dried grey. What has gone wrong and how can it be fixed?
