Hi.
I need to level off the ground so that the turf i am going to lay is level with the patio and the driveway (see pic below. The image has roated so sorry for that!)
The depth i need to make up is 11cm
2.5 cm will be the width of the turf, which means i have 8.5cm depth to fill in order to get me to the level to where the turf will go.
I was proposing to do the following (based on the depth of 11cm to fill):
1. 3 cm hardcore type 1 compacted down with a wacker plate
2. 5.5cm of topsoil straight on top of the type 1 hardcore followed by ...
3. Turf on top of topsoil (2.5cm depth)
I am after your thoughts on doing it this way around?
Thanks
