As our street communities evolve and change, they can impact your garden. Neighbours may grow a hedge that casts shade on a once-sunny corner, ruins the lawn and creates drainage issues as well. You could get annoyed, but why not seize the chance to reconfigure your garden by adding shade-loving plants, put in pebbles instead of grass, install a strip drain (to help with drainage) and build a gabion bench seat to create a shady retreat.
