Having wasted time, effort and expense laying new turf on my 28’ x 5’ front lawn, which reverted to uneven moss, weeds etc within a few years, I’m giving up on it. It takes me all my time to summon up the effort to mow it once a month, let alone care for it.
I’ll replace it with pebbles over a porous membrane, and stick some planters on it. I’ve a dozen large pots, full of what I suppose are weeds in various forms. With occasional colour from what I suppose are some form of plant.
Before I dig out the turf and hire a skip, can I just turn it over, spray with strong weed killer, add a few bulk bags of cheap top soil to level out the site, locate membrane then add a few ton of pebbles ? Or does the old turf have to be taken off site ?
I hate gardening. Always have. Always will. Not that I’m lazy. I’d much rather be painting windows, garage doors, building log stores ( a pal is giving me half his old recently felled beech tree this month which I have to move from site, collect and split)
