Ok guys,here`s my problem. Ive moved into a brand new house which unfortunately has had nothing done to the back area. Its just a mess of earth and bricks at the moment. I want to turn it into a lawn but its not as simple as just removing all the rubble. The earth is clay. Heavily clay and really retains the water badly. Having viewed some of my neighbours back gardens its obvious all some of them have done is turfed on top of the clay and what rain we have had has really messed up their (once) pristine lawns. Ive got a few ideas around removing some clay, and adding topsoil but would be interested to hear what other ideas people have particularly considering any drainage issues.
