I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

@Climbee How did you build the fence that is about a meter (3 feet) high? The one with the wooden slats attached to the metal post. It looks great.

Zucchini did not grow – it was too cold at the end of May/beginning of June.
Cucumbers had a similar fate.
Tomatoes have late blight. They are already completely leafless.

We hired a landscaping contractor with heavy machinery. You mean the privacy fence, right? I dug up some old pictures:

Small excavator standing on a gravel path between two houses, construction site with soil and stones.

Excavation on a slope with new concrete wall segments, soil, gravel, and excavator in the background.

Construction site between two houses: cast concrete retaining wall, wooden forms and building materials.

Garden and forecourt area next to house with gravel path, planter pots, and dark posts.

Garden bed with red tree; temporary wooden beam cladding in front of dark wall.

Garden with wooden beam substructure for terrace between two buildings; sandals at the edge.

Construction of a wooden terrace in the courtyard; beams on a gray wall, background: house with red roof.

Wooden terrace in the garden with chair, flower pots, potted plants and spiral metal sculpture.

Construction site at wooden house: earthworks next to the house wall, pile of gravel, construction equipment, hoses in the yard.

Thanks! That’s practically a second house, just the terrace alone (in terms of effort 😉 ). I really like the look, metal and wood side by side, without that DIY store style. Are the metal beams custom-made, or can you buy them like that?

Yes, we have more concrete in the garden than in the entire house (which is a wooden house).

The metal parts were custom-made. Our landscaper had a metalworker available who fabricated everything to measure. The wooden beds and raised planters were also made on site.

You can get inspiration by searching for "garden metal" online (just look it up and you will find their website) and you can also order from there. If I remember correctly, they also do custom orders. However, we preferred to have a metalworker on site.

And of course, everything must be securely fastened. When the wind hits it, a solid structural design is definitely necessary.
