Hi,

I`ve searched high and low to find some clear answers to how to clear
an overgrown garden but without much luck. So i thought i`d just ask.

I have just bought a house with a 60` x 25` garden and it currently
has about 3 foot tall weeds covering all of it apart from a couple of
trees.

Any ideas on how to clear it. The idea is to returf the whole garden.
Should i hire a petrol strimmer and clear it then turf it? or go at it
with a lot of weed killer and wait a few weeks?

any help would be greatly appriciated.

thanks

The best solution is to firstly strim and rake off all the debris. Leave
for a few weeks and then Roundup the re-growth. Preferably repeat this after
another few weeks. Finally make a totally level surface before turfing.
Don't economise on the quality of the turf but at the same time ensure that
it is suitable for your potential usage.
Best Wishes Brian.
