I’m new and want to thank you all in advance who have help other in this group.
I would like to ask if anyone knows of any grants available to get my garden levelled and fit for use?
I moved into the property a year ago with my wife who has MS it is a disabled access bungalow but unfortunately the garden is extremely e even and even had hole in the ground. I have had an on going battle with the housing association who just keep saying it is my responsibility to sort (it’s a brand new property)
my wife loves to potter in the garden but due to her disability it causes her to be unsteady on her feet she is unable to go out and enjoy the garden. We’ve been quoted roughly £1700 to have it levelled and sorted but as I’m her full time carer and money is tight we just don’t have that kind of money free so I was hoping that maybe one of you wonderful people maybe able to help and guide me to some one who can help us.

Hello @marty78
Welcome to the community!I am sorry to hear that the garden is not fit for purpose. Have you tried reaching out to the Gardening With Disabilities Trust? They help with adaptations to make gardening possible. It would be worth sending them an email to see if they can help with the levelling.
