Hi All, after having tried all else to increase drainage in my garden (created new soakaway with land drains and all we got was a nice pond at the bottom of the garden !) I have decided to try raising the level by an inch or 2 by adding topsoil and reseeding the lawn.
Question is, is there a best process for adding new topsoil i.e should I dig the exisitng soil first or can I just lay the new topsoil on top of whatever is there ? I will be adding both screened topsoil and sand to try to encourage drainage.
All advice appreciated.
