Ripping Flags Up

Grandmother has a flagged back yard, I'm thinking if turfing it for her, is it a simple case of lift the flags dig out, top soil then turf?

Fred West could advise you.

I thought this was another Muslim thread before I opened it

Bloke selling American flags in Tehran must have coined in it over the years.

pretty much. remove as much stone as possible or in time they will rise up through the turf. if the soil underneath is shite make sure youve got a good base of soil.

Leave the flags down and chuck this on top...

 

Job done.

It's actually quite trendy to put this stuff down now. My mate posted a pic of her dog in the garden and she must have got about 20m2 of it.

Yes, just give it a couple of inches of top soil and grass will grow on it, but do remember granny will meither your bollocks off every weekend for you to pop up and mow it, it will become yours not hers

Put the flags on ebay free flags if taken up and removed saves a load of hard work

I have this stuff and it's fucking ace. Spray weedkiller round the edges twice a year and that's all the gardening I have to do which is good because I detest it.

Or on free cycle and similar sites.

 

I got my kitchen that way and it's in good knick, must have saved me £3k.
