Decided on the block pavers as they're near on indestructible and if I get an oil stain from cooking I'll be able to swap a couple of the blocks out easily.
Also bought some cedar slats to build some climbing trellis on the side of the garage.
Then finally I have 18sqm of yellow balau decking which should look mint. This will be on the other side of the garden to the pergola and then we have turf between and a plant boarder. Have some rattan seats to go there.
The garden turf is pretty shitty but it looks nice, once I've got the the work finished I'll start focusing on that. Would prefer artifical but my wife is dead against it.
