Currently the alleyways are covered in tall weeds which are unattractive and it also means the alleyways cannot be used. We want to clear the weeds and then sow some ground cover requiring little maintenance so that the area can be used for access and recreation by children and residents. This will create a safe and secure area which will be pleasant. We have already started and had a day weeding and now most of the rubbish dumped has gone.

What we'll deliver:

Weed killer spraying - done professionally
Dig up paths and aerate 6 hours £90 for the gardner + residents to help
Lay flagstones
Sow also Irish moss seeds
Sow Dichondra seeds
Wait 2-3 months for weeds to die

Why it's a great idea:

Everyone will benefit. Easy access to back gates. Less weeding in the gardens from weed seeds blowing into the gardens. A safe place for children to play. Transforming the alleyways into a pleasant area

Steps to get it done:

weed killer spraying
dig up paths
lay flagstones
sow ground cover seeds
wait 2 months
