New gateway into one of my fields.. kit is only getting bigger so don’t muck around and just put 20ft in everywhere now! Was an old natural ditch along there before - already built it up a fair way (gate posts are 3m long!!) a good 300mm of rough hardcore to go in next! Before topping off with some road plannings

Having struggled turning into many a 10/12ft gate off single track lanes in big kit this is what should be done.

Lest they have to work a bit for one of them! Its like stealing yorkstone- it’s not an honest nights work but it’s more than mugging an old lady

Not surprised.. but it’s not a chuck it over your shoulder job! It was originally going to be planted into the patio but decided to go ontop to get some more height on it..

Planted 5 olive trees not much bigger than the one in your picture they were 4-5k each but that was when they couldn't import them due to a disease in Italy so pushed prices up as only ones available
