Storm Eleanor uprooted some big old trees sadly. Not ideal when they just happen to be in your prized lawn!5a781c5d17775_CulfordBirch2.thumb.jpg.97c3e9521736f0d52fc3db77f66ed6c9.jpg5a781c55672f2_CulfordBirch6.thumb.jpg.59e659b9b61ac7c19209c47e0106f33d.jpg

It looks like the lawn will never be the same again, but it can be fixed!

Wood chip and roots mostly removed, but some remain mixed with the soil and used to re-fill the hole. The area is left slightly raised as it will sink slightly as the soil compacts and consolidates.

A quick rake over with some lawn dressing or topsoil and some seed in the spring and the poor old Silver Birch will be nothing but a distant memory - and some firewood of course!

Yeah, I agree.  I put an HB20 on my Navara but take the tailgate off to do it.  That tailgate's capable of taking much more than 100kg (I run the 145kg Jo Beau onto it) but I don't fancy sitting over 300kg on a pair of thin straps and two small lugs.
