stretch of ground to the right of the house and runs for a good 200 feet
before hitting the back section which is overgrown and I cant seem to do
anything with at all. ( was greenhouses but they were dismantled long ago)
and would be ideal as a garden area to be honest. Is there any reason I
cannot take off the grass and dig this area up to put in a garden? Would I
disturb the drains or something?
