The main task was eliminating the weeds and making the space usable again.
When Garry’s team arrived at the house, he immediately saw the challenge ahead.
“The key issue was the weeds — they were everywhere, and the ground was completely uneven,” Garry explains.
His first step was to remove excessive soil, which was overgrown with weeds, and level the ground to create a solid base for the new garden design.
“There were also some big tree roots in the way, so we had to cut them out and dispose of them properly.”
To ensure a durable finish, they used high-quality materials. “We always choose good sources for materials — quality wood for edging and something that lasts long,” Garry notes.
They placed double weed mats and covered them with bark to create a low-maintenance, weed-free garden.
The project was expected to take three days, but Barbara explains it was extended due to heavy rain over Christmas.
“The whole thing turned into mud, and it was frustrating for them [Garry’s team] too, because they couldn’t work in the very heavy rain,” Barbara says.
