My wife and I have just finished (for the time being), the landscaping of our new garden. It was immensely hard physical work for the both of us. We did it ourselves both to save money and so that we had control over the project ourselves. I really don' think we knew how physically difficult it was going to be. However, we know the job has been done properly and we have both grown stronger and slimmer in the process. Getting people in to do work seems to be a real lottery and we have had from the sublime to the ridiculous in terms of quality of work over the last few years.
