I guarantee that none of you would go for the smashing option. It was my first consideration, but the concrete goes far too deep (quite ridiculously so), and it would be far, far too much work, and would probably involve paying for men with pile drivers, and then there's the fact that the drain has been raised to the level of the concrete... nope, really bad idea.
Oh yeah, and TODDLER.
As for decking, we've just laid some at the front of the garden which was at a different level to the part we are now discussing. The reason for laying it was to do away with the very hard, infant-skull-endangering step that was extant before we levelled the space out.
Grant, I like the gravel idea, but again, not sure gravel is very toddler friendly - I think he would a) eat it, b) cut himself on it, and c) eat it. Maybe that's something to consider for the slightly longer term. As for pots, that's the way we're going.
Pots and pebbles. Brighton, innit. |
