Old and new fence

It took all day for two chaps to change our fence. A couple of posts had to be straightened, one or two gravel boards lifted or dropped slightly. One panel had to have a 1/4 removed to fit. The biggest problem was getting the final bit in between our garage, and joined to another fence post. On top of that, both neighbours at the back kept coming out to chat to them.

We went out twice to two different plant nurseries to get a nice assortment of new plants and some bulbs that don’t mind light shade too much. Ouch!

Anyway, herewith the before picture of the fence. To the right to the back of the garage and water butts area. The butts will have to be moved back against the fence:

And afterwards. To the garage and butts plus a new bit of fence between us and our other side neighbour:

Most plants in situ will be lifted and distributed amongst the new plants in this area. More pictures when the planting is done!

    1. Certainly is. We can’t see all of it due to the raised vegetable beds. I think once they mature and fill out it will be lovely.
