Ewa , Thank you so much for your inquiry regarding the above photograph, the material used on the walls is actually and industrial weight wall covering that we offer, we have hung this horizontally as opposed to its traditional method which we feel adds more impact and looks more authentic. It is supplied in double rolls 8.2 metres in length is 68.5 cm wide and costs £144.00 per roll. It is available from us in 9 colour ways and we can provide samples should you require them. Delivery appx 10 days from stock. It is extremely hard wearing and robust and we think it is stunning. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any more service. Best regards Malcolm W Duffin.

Thanks Natal and Minnie. I guess either method will work for the section that's proud of the old wall, but if I try some sort of mallet and chisel approach lower down, the dislodged modern bricks might shoot forward and damage my lovely old London bricks. So maybe a grinder with diamond blade further down. HSS have a boggling choice of such kit; guess they can advise which is best. Here's hoping the local dump will take the bricks, assuming they have no value. And that most survive intact! (No idea what tied in means; will check it out thanks)

I am sure there is not much need for this advice.....it is also important the 'base' where the tiles are going to be fitted is adequate for those tiles, so don't use simple plaster boards please but hardiebaker cement boards, they are stronger boards and should be fine for the tiles you have in mind. there are also thinner wall tiles like those......but still very large format ( they are only 6mm in thickness)

Hi honeyry. I don’t think it would look weird having the lawn on the left as it would be more central to the patio. Hope you don’t mind but I took the liberty of doing a quick sketch as well. It still uses the full length of the garden so should keep your footie fan happy 😊. What I do think is that you need more definition to your borders so using a lawn edger to keep grass encroaching on plants/shrubs/trees (see pics). This will keep plants healthy in the long run as they won’t be competing for nutrients. Also added a patio and shed in the top right NW corner. This might be a nice little sitting area in for a morning cuppa, the shed and the addition of some trellis would give you some privacy from the neighbours. Something like this wouldn’t need doing straight away as I’ve kept the basic layout with the path relatively unchanged. Did add a little extra in the way of a little semi circle of hard landscaping in front of the seps. This is just a transition between borders, lawn and patio and could be anything...paving, tiles, cobbles and so on. There are a plenty of plants that are suitable for your garden. The RHS website is a valuable resource when researching. Two that spring to mind which are virtually indestructible (great for stray footballs) are red valerian and buddleia. Both need hacking back to near ground level in late autumn and will grow like the clappers come spring. Be aware that red valerian (also grows well north facing) can be considered invasive in some parts as it self seeds prolifically and usually where you don’t want it like in the walls or in between paving slabs but it’s easy enough to pull out. For improving the lawn I’m sure there are plenty of tips and tutorials online. I myself have a dog that makes a right mess of the grass. I’ve recently purchased this stuff https://www.envii.co.uk/shop/neuturine/ but I’ve yet to test it so can’t vouch for it and its a little expensive for what it is. Supposed to to change the Ph of the soil so that urine doesn’t burn it (or something scientific like that 🙂). Just hope it works! Here‘s my sketch and pics.
