5 Circle Covered and Bed Digging
Since the first time we saw Waterloo Farm there was no real distinction between the front and back of the house. This was largely due to a large shingled turning circle/parking area that is in the ‘back garden’. This has left the house a little bereft of identity and also privacy when you are in the back garden. To remedy this our plan has always been to convert this turning area into grass/beds and secure off the front from the back.
Part 2 of the drive/garden transformation resulted in Liam raking through the compacted gravel and lifting off the top 6 inches. This was used as the hardcore and base for the two new guest parking bays covered in Garden Transformation Part 1. Once this had been cleared, we then replaced the shingle with approx. 40-50 tons of top soil, which was then graded smooth by the digger bucket.
Next we wanted to make maximum use of having the track machine on site, so we used another 10-15 tons of top soil to cover the land drain that had not re-seeded through the sand. Being cheeky we also used the digger to turn over the soil on the new beds from which we had the turf cut. This turf was then re-layed by Tammy on the old turning circle. We certainly know how to recycle!!
Next we just had the ditch to sort out….
