Where I live looks over a row of houses who have gardens but I notice most of them you cant sit in or relax in. Is this normal for garden owners ? I ask as I dont understand how you can have a garden but cant sit in it as there's no space to etc

A previous property had a lovely garden and could sit in it and enjoy. Most of it was out of sight of other properties so could lounge naked if I'd wanted.

As often the case, the land to the rear was sold off for development and over 2+ years, the housing went up. It was completely overlooked in the end. The new houses had very little garden and the feral occupants ended up continually breaking in to sheds, damaging equipment, smashing greenhouses (not just mine but any they could get in to)

Had to move

Some years back I was visiting a new build housing site, and I asked the site foreman why there were no fences on the front gardens. He said it was so the owners would not realise how little outside space they really had, and back gardens were based in the size of a rotary clothesline with just enough space to walk round it. Maximum number of properties on a given site.

Some people simply neglect the outdoor space that comes with their property. That's their choice.

It tells you quite a bit about the owners .

White goods in the front garden , windows which look like they haven't been washed for years.

Dirty lace curtains , what are the owners like?

Wild flowers/s need to be encouraged.

Bees can't survive on concrete

North London (outer)

I have a large garden that I spend a lot of time in. Shrubs, flowers, fruit trees and an area for growing veg.

Patio behind the house has is covered with a roofed wooden structure so great for shade, barbecue and entertaining. Patio at the bottom of the garden is great for sunbathing.

I employ a gardener for grass cutting, ing and tidying up but deciding what goes where and planting stuff out is down to me.

Meh

I’ve got a strip at the rear of mid terrace Victorian 2up 2down.

The half furthest from the house laid with slab, gravel and housing for a motorcycle; the half nearest the house densely planted with tropical style plants for a year-round green effect.

One reason why I sold my last house was the garden. Terraced--4 levels--and over-looked. Awkward to 'garden' and very little privacy. Rarely sat out there. Plus neighbours were a pain. Not nasty, just gossipers and a bit weird. Here at least I have a level garden with high fences.

Housing used to be built to live in, now it's more of an existence.

Garages were for cars, gardens were for relaxation.

Now they're both just extra storage with cars on the road and gardens concreted over.

I'm sure if the addresses of the developers' CEOs were known, they wouldn't be in any of their rabbit hutches!

We try our best with ours but it's north facing and the ground gets very waterlogged. I suspect there may be an underground stream that runs underneath it.

I live on a corner plot and have 2 grassed lawns out the front. The smaller grows wild and is full of wildflowers atm.

I've a split level back garden very private from my neighbours where I have my heavy wood table and patio chairs. Upper garden is all chippings and washing line.

Sounds like you're getting bavk to nature.

.

But two big strong men like you and the bf should sort it out, no messin'.

I don't know what either of you look like, but I envisage two big strapping lads with smiling eyes.

Mines just under an acre and not overlooked. Split into rooms with formal Italian patio, a hedged in chicken enclosure, a sunken garden and lots of Liquid Ambar trees to colour up the autumn. It takes two hours to cut the grass but we enjoy it.

Either that or a leaking water main (hopefully before your water meter). We had that in our communal garden - very lush grass. The water company eventually came and fixed it when they finally realised it was their responsibility.

This is at the back, the water main comes in from the front.

It's a very clay soil too.

In a world of my own

I’m fortunate in that I have a detached house, built in the 1950’s, gardens to the front and rear, a driveway and garage to store the car, not full of junk.

Back garden is not overlooked although houses both sides, mature plantings within both encourages birds and hedgehog.

Modern construction, planning, and need for maximum useage of space makes previous outdoor living problematic.

Anyone coming into my property after I’ve gone, would probably too it apart for space?
