    it’s not as bad as it looks, there are actually few weeds, they are just big, and the soil is sandy so it’s easy to pull them

    I’m going to make two big garden beds surrounded by paths , I’ll make the paths by laying down cardboard then putting wood pavers on top of that . Then build up the beds a little. The pots will remain around the edges.

    I can’t do lawn as I can’t get a lawn mower in there, so garden it is, and it will nice to have vegies too.

    I have an upstairs balcony for relaxing in .

      That sounds like a fun project (s) :)

      But please put some non-slip shit on those wooden outside stairs where ted is sitting.

      That should come up nicely. I’d probably use wood chip mulch instead of actual pavers for the paths, then you can just keep adding more over time as they break down to refresh it. I’d also be a bit worried about pavers getting slippery.

      I think it is much better not to have a lawn for most purposes, it is a lot of upkeep for an area most people don’t actually use. Garden beds with ground covers or native grasses generally look great, are less maintenance and if done right provide great habitat for birds and small animals.
