    from this old fencing to this, customer insisted on using old posts some of which were out of level and not all same height, hence small bump in the finished level still, looks better than before

    Alright guys, looking for the best way to put down some astroturf, approx 4m x 5m some say just wack down MOT type 1 hardcore, others say nail together a frame out of 2x4 lengths, lay on area and fill with hardcore, wack down to level of frame. Its only for a customers dog, so low quality astro turf is fine, already purchased. anyone done something similar? I know there are youtube videos but Im after tried and tested methods from you guys here thanks in advance Tom S.C.B Tree Surgery

    Thanks guys, im located in Bexhill East Sussex Ideally looking to buy but hiring may be the 2nd best option ha Burytreeman - Could you ask about for any 2nd hand models? will continue to search ebay, any other sites or locations I could try?

    have 1000m2 or old turf to rotavate to allow for new turf to be laid, dont fancy hiring one, can anyone recommend a decent heavy duty self propelled one? new or used thanks tom
  22. thecaptain
    Give me a call, S.C.B Tree Surgery and Garden Services, if you are still looking that is, im based in Bexhill
  23. thecaptain
    thanks for the replys guys, think im going to spray to kill off, then rotavate it, removing old turf is just too costly, especially due to access down tight country lanes and the way the garden is set out. quote sent, just waiting on approval!
  24. thecaptain
    customer has asked for over 1000 square meters of old grass to be replaced with high quality turf, just wondered if any of you had idea's on how bes to proceed, I would just get a diger in, strip off old turf, spread few " top soil then turf. any other options to consider?
  25. thecaptain
