Hi all,
We have a very small garden which we want to completely deck. at the moment about 3/4 of it is grass, and we are hiring a turf cutter to remove it. We've Decked a small area before, so not complete novices, but that was on existing slabs, not grass.
So, a few questions:
1 - Membrane. can anyone recommend a good membrane to lay over the soil to prevent any weeds etc coming through, and that will last
2- what's the best way to lay the decking? We're planning laying membrane then using bricks to make the joists level, as the garden slopes slightly. Or is it better to level with gravel and then put joists on top of that?
Any help/advice gratefully recieved!!
thank you!
