Re-doing the garden in the back

I’m not sure if you can see it on the before pics but unfortunately our conifers were all dead. Only the branch endings were still green. The fence was decaying and most trees were too big, which is not allowed in The Netherlands because you may not take sunlight away from your neighbors. And finally, I wanted some new stones to sit on, these were from the seventies, which, in this case, wasn’t cool.

So time to change. Both neighbors were also very enthusiastic and we hired a gardener for most stuff.

The only thing left for us was set some new plants, trim the buxées, refill the gravel and wait for the sun to shine. Oh yeh, and wait for the trees to grow again.
