I would have hired a digger and a skip, although expensive it would have been done around 1 or 2 days. Anyway what are you planning to do with the garden, grass and or decking. grass with York stone paving would look nice.
Hi Raza, hope you are doing well ... Yes we were going to use a digger as the neighbour to this property works in constructions. We recently quit our gym membership and thought the workout and close up experience would be of benefit, Haa Our thoughts initially were to have grass in the back end and a patio area for the front end of the garden. We also want to be as ecofriendly as we can therefore, we are thinking of re-using the large slabs we found in the ground which are 90cm by 60cm ! Oh brill, let me look into York stone paving, sounds interesting! Thanks for your comments so far, we find them helpful! :)
