  • by far the most useful video I have found here regarding laying a new garden and the length of the video did not need to be a second longer. Thank you for uploading this video and providing great advice.

    As you can see... i can see and i saw a splendid job.
  • 5 years on. It would be extremely interesting if you went back to this lawn for a visual update!
  • we have to do this soon. previous owners left the lawn and it's 90 percent moss and dandelion, horrible. This doesn't look too horribly hard to do.
  • AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, I HAVE DONE ANOTHER SPECTACULAR JOB HERE! I AM VERY PROUD HOW IT TURNED OUT !!

    Good video , I am about to commence something similar and was wondering after you have cultivated and levelled the existing soil to what depth do you add the new topsoil to bed your turf on . I am assuming itโ€™s shallow enough to not require any compacting !
  • I've just done this with a spade and fork, 45sq metres total cost ยฃ225 including new top soil

    Thx for the video. Gotta say, the thick accent was a bit difficult to follow, but it was informative.
  • Looks great! But surely you should be kneeling on boards and not the freshly laid turf. That's what I do when I lay turf anyway to prevent any dips or damage.
  • @philloxley1604
    nice video, i would have put a decent granular fertiliser down before turfing, helps the rooting process.
