They still have to install a new back gate, but otherwise the work is finished.  The yard may no longer be bushy, but it's neat. When Ailz and I inspected it this morning we were happy to find there are still some stocks of ivy and honeysuckle remaining.

That looks smart! I'm sure the ivy and honeysuckle will soon grown back. They go mad here and I have to keep cutting them back.

That was pretty quick work! It does look good, and I'm glad you're pleased with the results.

Nice! Although it loks like that garden wall needs a re-render to match. Hostas might do well in the shade, and Alchemilla mollis. Makes me want to go and watch Gardeners' World!

It looks lovely! Somebody else suggested hostas, and I second that. I'm wondering, too, if you could hang a planter or two from the wall, so as to put some flowering stuff up into the light? Neighbors here on "The Hill" do it, because we have narrow streets, four and five storey buildings, and small yards like yours. Some of the "Hidden Gardens of Beacon Hill" are quite well known, and are the focus of a mid-May event - a tour of the said gardens, for which people pay $25 USD. At any rate, a rather spectacular show is possible in these small and shady spaces.

That's quite a transformation.

Hostas do sound like a very good bet.

It looks very neat indeed. Honeysuckle is hard to kill. That will surely come back. Have you thought of planting ferns and maybe impatiens, both shade lovers, though the impatiens are annuals.

That looks wonderful! I know that it would make me very happy.

That looks realy good.

I wasn't too terribly concerned about your ivy. We have tried to kill ours for more than a decade, now, and have never succeeded. It's incredibly tough stuff.
