Hubby - my workman! - and I dug out the raised brick planter in the far corner. I saved as much soil as I dare then had to take the rest to the tip as it was riddled with ivy roots. The bricks had to go too so all that meant another 8 trips to the tip.
Hubby then had to isolate the electrics which served the pond pump and we plan to use the wiring for a security light which we bought yesterday.
The infill - all 3 tonnes, has settled really well so we ordered a further half tonne to take it all to the level ready for paving.
So the next challenge was to create the bin area which we've achieved with a new fence panel, base and some of the old gazebo wood. Still a bit to do on this but rain is expected today so no painting.
The next step is to pave the area. We've decided to crazy pave as we have a lot of flags and have been offered more by a neighbour. Once that's done I can order railway sleepers to make raised borders and start making it all look pretty.

Looking very clean and neat. You two are doing a fab job! Can you stop by my house next? :) It's going to be a lovely relaxing garden for you. Now rest while it rains.
That's a big project to undertake but it looks really nice...love all the natural stone & new plantings. Beautiful & worth it in the end :)
