Hi,

We've already taken up our path and we're planning to take up the lawn.
Basically we're wanting a blank canvas. My girlfriend is keen on getting

A blank canvas with a lawn and a path on?
I'd have a think about what you want more before investing time,
effort and money into removing anything else.
Why did you take up the path?

The 'path' was a big mess of concrete that had cracked and the previous
owner had then topped with tarmac, which also cracked. I managed to
remove most of it with a spade, which shows how well done it was. It was
only when I got to the bit nearest the house that a sledgehammer was
needed.

We know exactly what we want, that's not the problem. I was just trying
to find out people's opinions on how feasible it was to do the work
ourselves and how much effort it would be. The lawn is really quite
tiny - about 15 feet by 6. So with the path gone and the lawn gone,
combined with the patch at the end of the garden that I dug up, we'll have
a decent 'blank canvas' on which to lay our new lawn and path.

So what do you want?

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and you have the energy. Our
garden was a mess when we moved in, but now has the 'Wow factor' according
to visitors when we opened the gardens to the public.

Size? 20feet by about 120ft

Don't bother with the ""Professionals"" who know it all, listen to the likes
of yourself who have 'been there, done that, got the tee shirt'

Kindest possible regards
