I have a little lawn to the north facing front of my house.
Over time I've added some box hedging to line the front path, some birch trees,
that I intend to keep small with regular pruning, a few pale narcissus that pop
up briefly in the spring and a Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' rambling rose which I'm
currently training along the wall and adjacent fence.
Unfortunately the lawn is a bit of eyesore, with neglect
leaving it overrun with moss and a brown colour suggesting a small infestation
of Chafer grubs, and whilst I do like a bit of the old green blades, I’m still
finding the area fairly featureless and so decided to attempt a little bit of
simple landscaping to create a new central bed.
