Landscaper (or gardener) needed for backyard work

Recommended Posts

Recently bought a house and thought I would redo the garden myself- disappointed to have to admit but this is beyond my abilities and I need help


After spending a weekend removing the pebbles from the backyard so I could lay some compost/ turf have found that underneath there is some quite tough under-soil with slate and bricks (not sure if this has a purpose?)but I need to accept defeat on doing this myself


I?m looking to get some help in tilling the soil (including removal of slate and bricks- thinking I?ll need a skip) and possibly breaking down an old concrete block that the old shed sat on


We have access to a path behind the place so could potentially use this to bring things out to the street as opposed to through the house


I?d still like to do the turf and final bits myself (to feel like I did something) but need some help


Any advice or recommendations for landscapers would be really appreciated


Thank you


Naomi

    • There used to be a secondhand hifi & repair shop in the basement of where Love Dulwich Turkish BBQ & Meze Restaurant is at the moment.  I'm trying to find anyone who either remembers the name or even has contact details.  I'm trying to find someone who can do repairs on an old luxman, B&O, etc.  Keeping fingers crossed!
    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
