Well it has been a very exiting day today I have been to see one of my garden designs being brought to life.  When I arrived at my customers house the builders were there working away and have so far laid the patio, built a wall and given it a first render, built the pond (see below), installed the water chute and the electrician was there too!

Next on the list is filling and putting the finishing touches to the pond, applying a final coat of render to the wall, installing the wall lights and finishing off the patio and the edges!  It's all go!!  Once all that is done it will be time to start preparing the new borders, purchasing the plants and getting the borders and the pond planted up.

Time to start designing the planting plan....off to the drawing board!
