Replace Concrete with a Lawn In a WET area With Poor Drainage
I have a concrete area around 150 square metres that I want to turn
into a flat lawn for the kids. My house was a farm so the whole area around the house is solid concrete. The area I want to transform has a brick wall surrounding 3 sides of it. The area is kind of cut out of a sloped grass field - On one side of the wall is raised grass sloping down towards the area and the other side is a slope down away from the area also grass. A major factor is I live in Fermanagh in Northern Ireland - a VERY WET area, with poor drainage and clay soil. I want the grass to be useable in the winter when it is most likely to be waterlogged, so drainage is a major factor. Should I dig up the concrete and remove it or break it up and use it as drainage under some top soil? The project is going to be very expensive so I want to get it right Any advice would be appreciated |
