My house is about to go on the market for sale so need to do something with back garden ASAP. I need some quick cheap ideas about how to present it.
Its a North facing garden with a slight slope down to the house so the half of the garden closest to the house is always a bit dark and damp and I struggle to even grow grass there! I re plant grass seed or turf every Spring so we have a lawn in the Summer but I don't have time to do that again this year as I want it on the market in Spring.
This is what I did to it when I first moved in a couple of years ago:
But this is how it looks now after another wet Winter:
It's only a small space and has zero drainage so not the best situation at all so I need some ideas! Just to add, I don't want to go as far as digging a soakaway and re turfing or seeding as I don't have the time for that before selling. So was thinking maybe re treat the fence, barrel and shed obviously and maybe dig up the grass on the lower half of the garden and replace it with bark chips or something then get a load of flowers in the wooden planters.
