hi, new and need advice on laying a lawn
Hi, we have bought a house with a largish back garden which belonged to a old couple for 50+ years, and it was just brambles and weeds in the soil areas. there were 2 garages and shed and a green house, lots of bits of paving.
anyway. I have started digging the garden. I want to lay lawn. I am thinking now I need to take some photos!! there is a good 2 foot of soil, and then i keep finding a concrete base. I have no idea of what to do. do I need to break this? or should I remove it? we have had no flooding over the last few months, so I am assuming that this could be a good sign? I will try and upload a photo or two. thanks for any advice |

You said you have two feet of topsoil, then concrete. If the latter is true and you don't have any drainage issues, then you can just seed or lay sod. |

It's hard to tell what you have there, besides the debris, that is. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeros after @ |
