No workers over the weekend so I've cleared up a heap of spoil and barrowed it out to the skip...

This was the new trellis getting erected. I forgot to take a photo before we ripped the old clematis and bushes out along with the old tattered trellis...

Just a single workman today who is going to have to wheelbarrow type 1 out of 1 ton sacks from the front of the house round to the garden himself. He has 2 ton to move...still no sign of materials delivery for rest of fencing, patio etc. Also waiting on top soil and turf but I expect they'll leave that until last.

PS. I would have gone for some quality grass seed mate. That turf is usually fast growing coarse stuff. Soft grass looks so much nicer.
