this by covering the garden in concrete and removing the hedge.



Yes, thank you Martin that would probably work - silly me, i hadn't
thought of that

Before the concrete, the garden, which was made by the previous
owners, was beautiful. I don't understand why they didn't buy a
large flat with a balcony if they wanted concrete.

Maybe the price was right.
Now is the time to buy,

Hardly, house prices are just below the peak value.

whatever state the garden is, and alter however you
feel fit.
Not everybody feels the same way we do regarding flower and fauna.
Each to their own eh?
I personally hate "car parks" but there is always one isnt there.

The garden/concrete slab isn't accessible to cars.

A flat of the same floor area is about half the price of a house in
this part of Holland. The land is very expensive in Holland.

Sorry I thought that this group was all about gardening in the UK hence
the
name of the group.

I know nothing about Holland nor do I want to.

You are fairly new on here, aren't you? There are several ex-pats who like
to contribute to the group. I see no problem with that.
