Most people who buy a house
with a garden want a garden.

It may be a regional thing, Sacha. In Glasgow's douce suburbs, the
earthfree, and even plant-free, gravelled "garden" features all too
often. Red gravel is particularly favoured :-( Such properties still
need a garden to display The Motor, and for performances of Polishing
The Motor.

In estate-agent-speak, they are referred to as "easily managed labour
saving garden", a valuable selling point to some buyers :~}

It's true. The North begins at Watford. ;-)
