Two pallets of Bermuda sod arrived before the team, who turned up with a third pallet. Shortly afterwards the missing Nellie Stevens holly materialized to join the other four sentinels. The prospect of a busy day ahead.

To add to the challenge, a quick scoot around the garden pin-pointed the run off flow of water, thanks to the torrential rain the night before. The solution would be to install 2 sumps and 40’ of drainage pipe and a quick rebuild of 3’ of path.The call was made and the kit arrived 2 hours later.Castro did the heavy lifting.

In addition to sod laying….
