A dad has spent 13 years transforming his barren backyard at his terraced city home into an incredible Japanese garden.
Martin Fitton, 54, fell in love with Japanese gardens after first visiting one on holiday in Dorset back in 2009 and immediately set about creating his own at home.
Over the past 13 years, he’s tirelessly renovated his garden by himself and now has an oasis which looks like it’s been plucked straight from Tokyo.
He’s built his own traditional teahouse, complete with koi pond, added concrete lanterns and pagodas and loves to have a cup of tea on the pavilion with his wife Cyndie, 54.
His garden has gained him a lot of fans, including plenty from Japan who have complimented the dad-of-two’s dedication to tradition.
Tanker driver Martin, who lives in Brislington, Bristol, with ward clerk Cyndie, said: “I am very proud of my garden.
“It’s been very rewarding. I don’t have any help with the garden, I do it all myself, so it’s nice being able to see how it’s all come together.
