Winter can be harsh on brickwork, especially older work that hasn't had regular maintenance over the years. A fallen, or otherwise in disrepair, wall is almost to be expected after the gales and rains of the season. A client's barbecue, fire pit or even pizza oven could also have come into disrepair in the same way.
This could involve re-bricking whole sections. In which case, you need to mix mortar and lay the bricks as you would when building a wall from scratch. Or is it a case of the mortar between bricks eroding away? If this is the case, then you should reinforce the mortar at the weakest points and when it is semi-dry you should use a jointing tool to create a classic brick recess.

However, if the brickwork is in a terrible state then it may be better in the long-run to take the original bricks down. Rebuilding, in this case, is the safer option.
Start Growth Plans
A garden does not appear out of thin air, surprisingly. It takes planning and preparation in order to create a beautiful and, better yet, flourishing garden that can be enjoyed throughout summer. Creating a flower bed or a growing area is one of the best ways to help these plans come to fruition.
Prune Trees or Dead Plants
Spring and summer are a time of renewal, out with the old and in with the new. This should especially be the case in the garden as dead plants can look unattractive and take up a lot of space in gardens.
Long dead plants can be tough to remove, especially those buried with deep roots. It is important to practice safe removal; wearing gloves and eye protection in case of sharp or projectile debris. These should be recycled in the natural waste bins in order to ensure the renewability of the garden.
