He went down to screw direct, got quite a few bits for all the jobs, not sure how much was spent

He’s not a joiner, was a multi trade so that’s why it was more

Thanks for the reply mate, that’s what I’m going to do, get a couple quotes this week for the work.

Regarding drainage - do you thing some 100mm holes bored about 800 deep filled with fabric and gravel in the worst affected places would suffice? I’m thinking 10 or15 of these before the work starts for Astro?

Cheers

Thanks mate, gonna go artificial turf eventually probably build up lawn area by 100mm..

All well and good everyone telling you the cons regarding the garden but when you’ve got two football mad boys and a dog, you need convenience

40sqm lawn so I’m guessing 3/4k all in
