June Sunshine and BBQ's

Well June is here already and we are finally enjoying a bit of sunshine. It's amazing how the sun can alter your mood and make you feel great, it must be that vitamin D that we are all slightly deprived of in this beautiful country, Wales!

If you're in the landscaping or building industry you'll know how those sun rays get the phone a ringing and everything can go a bit crazy in a short space of time. But us gardeners thrive on a bit of crazy time! There's nothing better than having a hard days work out in the sun, weeding, trimming, mowing, blowing, strimming, digging, lugging and hauling... knowing you've done a top job, customers are happy and when you get home? Get the BBQ going!

Oh yeah... Sausages from the local butcher a bit of salad and potatoes (home grown) and there you have it the perfect end to a great day. So here i have to plug! Where do you keep your BBQ? Yup, you need a patio or decking, that's where we come in :) As shown in this picture we have a simple decking base level leading from the french doors.

We can make it as simple or as complicated as you like with different levels and balustrade etc and it makes great use of space that may have been ignored or inaccessible in the past.
Decking is also great for making safe play areas for small children, quite a lot of local child minders opt for this with gates strategically placed!

So there you have it, my first blog and one of my not so secret secrets to keeping young and enjoying life! So, make some time, get the family round and start up the coals, flame grilled is always best with added vitamin D.
