Hi all
I’m in the process of digging my garden up on the front to lay some type 1/sand and some artificial grass with some pavers
the issue I have is that the garden is sloping towards the house which is well below the pavement which is fine but I need to keep the path the same height as next doors as our neighbour is really old and altering it would be a trip hazard for her as both paths adjoin .
There is another path which runs from the main path along the front of the house / window but this is lower than the main path(steps down from the main path) it’s approximately 4 inch lower than the main path.
this lower path has caused so many people to trip and fall off it.
what I would like to do is bring the lower path up to the same level as the main path but then this would bring it higher than the damp course.
is there a way to have the path higher than the damp course but not cause damp?
the other advice I need is the front garden where the artificial grass is going needs to be brought higher approx 6-7 inches which I was going to do with type 1 and abs sand but I’m a bit confused about my to be wall footings … would I dig down now from this lower point and brick up or would it be better to lay my type 1 then dig down from the new higher level ?
mom sorry tuis sounds such a confusing post! I hope it makes a little sense what I’m trying to say and hope the pics will help
Thanks
Jake
