Gardening work wanted
Today, (and yesterday, and several days last week), Richard and I have been working on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
micavity and entorien 's back garden.
So far, we've cleared and shredded a large quantity of brambles (and dug out the roots), removed large quantities of weeds from around the pyracantha, deduced one of the pyracantha to be a trailing variety which isn't going to work in what is supposed to be a hedge (they were given it as a gift, so not really their fault). Today, I've been clearing around the pond, digging brambles and matted grass from around the edging stones. Richard has been working on rubble clearing.
When we've removed all the brambles, willow, buddlia, etc, and the remaining rubble (there's an old path and the remains of some kind of sand pit), then we'll level everything off and work out where the new lawn should go.
Do you have a garden that needs major work doing on it?
Do you need to get a garden in good shape in order to sell a house?
Do you need to sort out the garden in a house you've just moved into?
Do you have a garden that went wild while you were ill/depressed/overworked?
Would you like a wildlife friendly garden?
Would you like to be able to grow fruit/veg, but need someone to get it all started for you?
Would you like your garden organised by someone who can tell a pyracantha from a pansy?
If the answer to any of the above is 'yes', then drop me a line and we can discuss costs. (If you don't live near me, but are willing to provide a spare bed, then I'll happily come and stay for a week.)

Make a note of where the sunny spots are at different times of day and see if there are any spots with bad drainage.
For friends, we charge £20 an hour for both of us, or £10 an hour for just one of us.
