Dad renovations - Part 3 - Oh god what have I started...
Hey guys,
It's your favourite renovator... too soon?
Since my last post Part 2, I've been getting stuck into the back yard again. After Part 1, my progress on the backyard had become stagnent and if anything gone backwards. It's time to change that, here is the plan of attack for Part 3;
- Extend the grass outwards toward the fences
- Put a dog fence up so I can have some plants that don't get trampled.
- Cement in a brick edging using recycled bricks.
- Fix the automated sprinklers for the lawn & the garden beds.
- Top dress the existing lawn
- Back fill the extend area for new lawn
- lay new lawn
That's a hell of a lot of work, oh god what have I started.
I'm not going to get all that done in this post, but I've made some pretty good headway already. I've completed pretty much all of it except for back filling the new lawn area's and laying the instant turf down. Tonight's more of an update on what the plan is and how much progress I've made so far. I'll give you all the details and the finished project in about a weeks time.. provided everything goes to plan this weekend.

Sticky beak neighbours wanting to know whats going on.
Soil is in and the brick edging is taking shape.
Exisint Agapantha plants have been moved from one part of the garden into the new area.
Brick edging down the side of the house and new plants.
Garden bed watering system working.
Removal of the existing pathway to be grassed.
Tomorrow I'm putting in an order for the instant turf to be delivered, a massive 35 square metres of extra lawn area for the kids to play on. The plan is to smash that out on Sunday! and I'll try and get some finished pictures up during the week next week. Stay tuned, until next time XAG.
Remember to use #dadrenovations (mums too!)
Surely you got it done faster once Batman came to the rescue ;)
haha Yeah he didn't do a lot of work though! Hopefully he'll visit us again for the laying the grass next week. Unfortunately i was late putting in my order for the lawn so i have to wait a another week now.
Bloody agapanthus..... those things never really die do they? Very impressed you had the patience to rip them all out.
Nice job, man.
Thanks mate, it was a bloody effort. I cut them all down and trimmed the roots to encourage growth when replanting them. With 3 kids, they're an awesome plant because they take care of themselves really. Plus they look nice in spring.
