Hi everyone,
Hope you are had a good Easter holiday.
I am planning to create lawn and lay turf in my garden.(image attached)
My questions are:
1- Can i lay the turf close to the tree all the way to the tree itself? woud tree actaully kill the lawn becuase of the roots and the nutritious it absorb from the soil? I dont mind getting rid of the tree, it cost around 400 but if i can get away with it and still have a green lawn close to the tree, i just leave it.
Also, I am wondering where its best to set the garden level, considering the manhole is quite raised and the dam floor level which is marked.
I will be using the edge brick (one can be seen in the photo by the wall) to create edge around. How much should I raise the floor consdering top soil and turf itself for a nice flush job?
If you have any suggestion that could save me money and still provide a good finish, I would be glad if you share it.
Thank you all for your help
