That's some serious work to do on your own. Did you have no help at all and even do all the mixing? Looks great and no doubt it will last with all the prep you did. Just out of interest how long did it take you?

Would it be suitable for a budget offer, to just pour concrete and paint it green? Or use green dye in it? The customers wouldn't have trouble with BBQ, cigarettes, pet droppings, just hose it clean. They can lay artificial grass later, or add pavement on top.

I don’t know in Uk but in Ireland is useless to have a garden with grass, all muddy as soon as you walk a couple of times, mossy, always wet… impossible to use, at least these gardens can be enjoyed
@BBirke13373 ай бұрын
@@AsensioPedro Continental Europe here, a bit less rain than in UK/Ireland, but we also get mud if the soil isn't permeable (too much clay) and moss in shade, and with not enough nutrients. I tturned to leaving grass clippings on the lawn, to preserve nutrients. If lawn really doesn't work, I would get rid of it, plant everything and create a patio of reasonable size. Lawn isn't mandatory.
