My partner went away for a long weekend so I decided to suprise her with a seating area out the front of our home
1.) Cut the existing lawn
2.) Discover that the top soil is very shallow becuase of the super heavy clay under it (which explains why that area was always slow to drain). Also, builders are always same, found a load of site rubbish under the lawn.
3.) Buy more pressure treated gravel boards as we're now going up rather than down. Make some stakes, and frame out the area.
4.) add anti-weed matting, and realise your going to need a lot more gravel
5.) add bench, table and plants - enjoy
