Hello, looking for some advise or help.
My back yard is mainly patio stones Indian stone.
We want to replace a section of the patio, around 10m by 4m with a lawn.
The wife doesn't want fake grass and was wondering what would be involved.
I've lifted a couple of the stones.
They have been cemented on each corner and there's dirt underneath.
Going further down there looks to be sand and then some hardcore.
Could I remove all the cement and stone until I get to the hardcore and sand , then mix in some dirt or soil I have from another part of the garden , get some topsoil and lay the turf.
Or will I need to remove all the hardcore and sand too ?
Or something else.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated I've attached some pics .
The idea is to have a small patio outside the door, then lawn which leads to the decking .
