Apparently it was the soak away that was broke and it was my fault for parking my car on it.
Things got quite ugly :(
so my resolution was to dig up the front garden, which to be honest i was using as a parking lot and wasn't pretty.
I do need to publicly state that the reason after investigation the soak away had failed, was due to - drum roll - nothing to do with my car - but due to about 30 years of muck being washed off a flat roof.
He never did apologise :(
Total cost of the project - was a lot of hard work on my part and £35 paid by the neighbour.
I decided once I had finished to make some alterations to the front wall and then, a new lawn perhaps. :)
that did cost me lots £12 for the seed.
The plants I used were ones that I had in my greenhouse, grown from seed I was going to keep then until next year and try my luck at selling at a car boot sale. (oh well needs must)
My front garden as it stands now :)
Not a bad result, neighbour off my back, a new garden and a saving of £350
