From wildflower jungle to usable lawn

Towards the mature tree

The grass and weeds were chest-high across the whole plot, with brambles working their way into the fence line and the patio completely hidden. The owners had recently moved in and could not tell where the garden actually ended.

We strimmed everything down in stages, raked off the cuttings, dug out the bramble crowns and cut the mature tree back off the fence. Once the ground was visible we gave the whole lawn a first cut, edged around the patio and cleared the slabs.

The lawn greened up within weeks of regular mowing and the family now has a garden they can use.
