But some mean trolls claimed they were the ones paying for her new garden

In a recent video, she shared how she had transformed the into the perfect spot for her and her boys to enjoy.

Louise showed what the looked like before the transformation and it was littered with metal sheds and broken paving stones.

The patio was no better, with many of the slabs uneven and broken.

She first started by levelling the garden and removing the hedge to put a fence up, which she painted a dark grey hue.

Next, the mum got busy installing a house at the bottom of the garden and laying some new grass to cover the dead lawn she was left with.

Lastly, she put up a trampoline for the boys to enjoy.

Louise added that she still had some work to do and wanted to put a path down the garden and install a wrap-around patio.

“Work in progress, but it’s getting there! Still need to put a path in and finish the fence and patio area,”; she captioned the post.
