The challenge
Simply covering the old surface would not have created an even result. The lawn area first needed to be cleared and shaped so the fresh soil and turf could sit neatly behind the timber edge.
Creating the new lawn
What we did and how it came together
What we did
- Clear and reshape the lawn area

How it came together
- 01Remove the old material and expose the change in height
