chaps
our lawn is looking well past it's best. It's pretty obvious the ground has become weed infested and compacted. Given that it's all bumpy uneven and slopes slightly I think it's best to give up and start again
So the area is about 75m2 and the brief would be to lift the slabs to the left and have a concrete path approx 1m wide to the bottom.
kill the existing grass and weeds. roto up the lot and add top soil and mix(?)
Level up flat etc...
it can possibly be seen the beds are lower than the lawn. At present there are wood boards but they are 10 years old and rotted out in places so will need something replaced - suggestions of a more permanent barrier?
Also the overhanging tree has caused the lawn to die directly below it and what can I do to prevent the new lawn going the same way (not my tree to cut down!)
Then would it be better to turf or seed. What do you experts advise and who provides decent turf/seed and how can I be sure I don't get cheap quality??
TIA
