They were scared to go in their beloved garden as the risk of tripping had become too great and they couldn&#8217;t even hang washing out anymore as the garden had got too out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>It was quite a daunting task, but Richard and Roy hired a skip, removed all the items which had built up over the years and then set to work on rotavating the whole area, removing the roots and other green waste. The old pond was next on the list for total removal. The area was then levelled, and finally seeded with grass seed. The photos show the transformation, the best part of the job being that the home owners are now not scared of venturing outside. They are able to walk to the end of their garden, sit on the bench and look out over the sheep in the field beyond and love being outdoors once again.<\/p>\n<p>Richard enjoys regularly mowing the new lawn which as you will see in the after photos is growing well. If you require help with your garden, please get in touch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edsgardenmaintenance.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preparing-hedges-for-trimming.jpg\"><img
