It's not long now before the landscaper starts work on our garden - though the date is not yet confirmed. It was time to do something a bit more definite regarding the trees that we want and for the Gorse Fox to create a cutting list for the deck.
We started with a trip across to Big Plants at Ashington. They never disappoint and we again managed to find just the tree that we want. It's called a Lion's Mane Acer (Je Suis Cecil!) and the nursery have put our name on it - just waiting for us to confirm when it should be delivered. The second tree was more problematic as it is not one that they stock. In the end that had to wait until we got home and was ordered online.
We visited a decking supplier near Worthing to examine the boards. Whilst they had everything we would need, the Gorse Fox was not impressed by the quality. A bit more shopping around is required. GF has, however, now got an accurate bill of materials for the deck, so can try to negotiate some deals.
(Another trip to the tip with more garage junk... almost done now. Just the tools to sort out).
