Questions people ask
How are stepping stones set into a lawn?
Each stone is set on a firm bed slightly below the grass, so the mower passes over it and nobody trips.
Will a path stop the lawn wearing out?
Yes. A worn line across the lawn is the clearest sign a path is needed.
Can you lay turf in winter?
Turf can be laid in mild, dry spells in winter, but not when the ground is frozen or waterlogged.
