Setting the Granite Driveway

Posted on October 24th, 2009

Well the weather conditions have unfortunately deteriorated so badly as to bring a halt to any prospect of progress with works on granite setts in Driveway and planting of rear garden. However before the recent heavy rain showers we did manage to make some progress with the granite works. I am very excited with the design as the new layout begins to emerge.

Some planting of rear garden did take place including the start of shrub and ornamental grasses.

Pittosporum Tom Thumb will provide good ground cover
