I need to gravel over a lawn at the front of the house. Do I have to
remove
the turf or can I just cover with weed inhibitor material and then tip
the
gravel on?
thanks for any advice

Whatever you decide to do, please report back on how well it worked - I am
doing precisely the same as you, and would be interested in your
experience.

Our lawn always looked a mess - it was used as a dog toiler and full of bare
patches etc, so I dug it up two years ago and spread three ton of gravel on
the area without any membrane. It has worked very well. Since the gravel is
spread onto well compacted sub soil, very few weeds attempt to come up. The
constant trampling helps to keep them at bay.
The lawn turfs were stacked upside down for six months then the soil spread
onto the veg plot making this an extra thick layer of top soil - great for
veg.
