Hello again AAM members,
I would like some advice. I hate failing in projects that I take on, so hopefully ye guys can help. Otherwise, I will have to throw in the towel and get a professional in, don’t really want to do this as I have already spent money on this project.
First off, my back yard comprised mainly of clay soil (New estate). My friend and I dug a French drainage system (followed guide from a key post here) and the area where we installed this system has improved a lot. (Maybe should have done this after the step below, but anyhow)
However, the remaining parts of the yard, are still waterlogged when it rains. I was hoping my next stage of my masterplan will fix this:
Remove 6 inches of the remaining clay soil areas and replace them with top soil. Will this be sufficient to plant grass seed? By using this method I am hoping that with the top soil and French drainage system, my garden won’t be too badly of.
Any suggestions for ideas will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
James.
