We've asked a pal, who's a landscape gardener by profession, to help us transform our back yard into a garden (and are paying him for his services).
We're looking forward to having grass. To prepare for this the concrete floor where the garage/shed used to stand has to be broken up.
Spent a couple of hours today helping him do this, with a whizzer (aka angle grinder), a sledgehammer, a pick and a giant crowbar. We've now got about half of the ex-garage area broken up.
I'm now aching, and have a few blisters on my hands. Now I know why this sort of activity is traditionally a punishment for convicts. Owch!

Bit of a weird time of year to be starting this,will grass take this time of year?
According to our man, Autumn is the best time to lay turf.
Not that I doubt him - the BBC seem to agree.
Mind you it could be winter by the time we get all of the concrete broken up :)
I thought that grass thrived in the summer (remember this when your cutting it next year) and lied dorment in the winter,obvious i was wrong,but i'll look forward to pics of a boss garden next summer lol.
