That wall should keep the snakes safe and sound in the garden and away from their natural predators!

The rear of the house is like a small jungle at the moment landscape job coming

We will add shale stones latter that's why we added the white drain cloth ,Taran we call it in the UK .
Landscape will come latter, the client does not like grass or cutting it .
So it will be hard landscape stones pot plants and so on .

Nice pics AtB.

All that concrete and no pool...so sad albeit surely not my wallet speaking.

Sounds like the perfect job for the on-site gardener Chokdee5

Personally I like a little green and flora around ones home...but that's just me.

Hopefully the owner(s) will enjoy their abode for many years to come. 10of10Score

Alan, I need to do my drive, about 110 meters square, and would like to ask what is the specification of the concrete mix? Is it the standard 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts stone? Or presumably grade A from CPAC or similar. Any additives to make it waterproof? If it is not giving away state secrets can you advise?

Order from home mart then you will get Cpak Portland cement mix ,tell them its for a road .
Use good re steel 20 cm squares 4 mm thick , and lay it 15cm thick , if you don't do it like this it won't be solid and will crack up .
If you want a price drop me a line .

Have a very good holiday Alan - you deserve it. Have you had it confirmed that there is an extended holiday for the kids? Just wondering......that's all. I have had no such confirmation from our children's school at this time.
