When I first moved in the garden was very overgrown. On one part of the boundary there was a 2 meter wide hedge. Considering the section is only 13 meters wide, that was a considerable chunk of wasted space. So, one of the first things I did was to chop down the hedge and build a retaining wall in its place. It’s been quite a big job, but it’s finally completed.
