not being funny, but its really difficult to understand what youve written. can you edit it down to short sentances so its easier to make sense of?

if it borders a highway then its limited to 1m without planning, even if its replacing existing. you may get planning for it though, many do. speak to the planning dept.

its a bit higher than what i would charge, but its not too bad as long as its a top notch job with a decent grade of turf

no it wont. thats 7.5m3 to buy and move, more like 40-50 a m3 for decent stuff. all in all its not a bad price and two days is about right

christ im moving up where you live then if theyre charging those prices! they should be lightly rotovating whats left after the turf is removed to avoid any compaction on the old soil and future drainage issues

they can be bedded direct onto the soil. if they are only 3 high then the easiest option is to use timberlock fastenings on each course as you put them up. they will want a post or two behind screwed to the sleepers though to stop any sideways movement.

i think the regs are farsical. if you take it to the letter of the regs, many gardens have undulating ground and some parts are above the 300mm mark. im doing one for a garden at the moment on a hillside where they are projecting the deck 4m into a heavily wooded area they own. If the council...
