Graeme M88 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Hi everyone. I’m new here and joined as it looks a great community. Dug out grass and soil to extend a small patio. Garden is on a decline from the house and I’m not sure if I should raise the base 4 inches or keep lower and build a retaining wall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

markc Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Good morning and welcome, I would be raising it slightly above the lawn, stops turf migrating onto the patio area and helps drainage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 For that small height change, I would not build a retaining wall, but cut the turf back a bit a re profile it so it slopes down to the slabs without a step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme M88 Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 Thanks very much for those ideas! Do you think sleepers would be an idea to support the turf? I was recommended to do this but I think it’s maybe too much for the size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
