The challenge
The yard needed more than a thin layer of new soil. It first had to be excavated and reshaped so the finished lawn would sit on an even area with a clear edge above the lower garden strip.
Creating the new lawn
What we did and how it came together
What we did
- Excavate and reshape the backyard
- Create an even lawn area above the lower garden strip
- Complete the timber edge and fresh-soil preparation
- Lay and water natural turf across the yard
How it came together
- 01Remove the old surface and excavate the uneven ground
- 02Shape the new lawn area and height transition
- 03Spread and smooth fresh soil behind the timber edge
- 04Lay the natural turf and water it in
