I plan to remove my rear lawn in September and re build the whole area as it is un even, bumpy and slopes. Having had a garden room built and installed a new patio this year the area that the garden drained down to is now a patio so the garden just floods and as its a clay base it stays wet for weeks.
So how do i do it.
The garden is approx 12 mtr wide by 10 mtr long and runs down hill from top left of garden to bottom left with a fall of say 0.5mtr in 12mtr.
My idea is to remove all the grass and skip it, import tonnes of topsoil and lay new turf with a fall to the trees i have installed at the back of the garden.
Now do i do as i have said or could i just rotovate whats there and bring in topsoil to level ???
Or could i just pile topsoil on whats there already and lay new turf on top of that ????
Got a lot of time to think about this one plus i'm currently building small walls around the garden to hold the soil at the new level
?
