Boycie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Plus if it's a new build it'll not have top soil, just churned up sub soil etc with the obligatory brick end and a dug in dead eastern european labourer. get some top soil delivered, some hoss **** and prepare a nice level base. then turf the shocker. you tube some old ground force programmes, it's worth it just for Charlie Dimuckybitch's unfettled busoms.

Gritstone Ram Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think it all depends how much work's involved. If you're thinking of doing it yourself just price it up at a few diy stores. If you're thinking of paying someone to do it get three quotes. If they're roughly the same you know that is the going rate. Better still you'd have thought someone on here could do it for a t-shirt.

The bloody things would grow on my nose if I stood in the garden long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hired a roller for a weekend to get it all nice and flat frst, I reckon it wasn't much more that a couple of hundred notes all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @Daveo if you are renting get permission from your landlord before you do anything, those greedy feckers will have any excuse for having your deposit.
