Understand the space you\u2019re working with\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the golden rules of landscape gardening is to be aware of the ground you\u2019re going to mould. A full inspection should be done <em>before<\/em> you pick up your shovel or any other tool. Are you sure that you won\u2019t be disturbing any pipes or wires? And are any changes you\u2019re hoping to make in-line with local building regulations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. It\u2019s a mistake to think flat is always best\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many new horticulturists don\u2019t realise that it\u2019s both healthy and desired for your turf to have a bit of a slope. A gentle slope away from your home can lead to just the right amount of drainage. In a perfect world, there\u2019d be a downward gradient from your property of about a quarter of an inch for each foot. If that\u2019s not possible then you\u2019ll want the maximum slope of your lawn to be no more than twelve inches for every four feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Work out the run and rise of your garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a board and level is the easiest way to measure the slope in your garden. You\u2019ll be able to work out the rise of your garden by measuring the vertical distance from the top of a slope to the bottom, while the horizontal distance is known as a run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by driving a stake into the ground at both the top and bottom of your slope. Next, tie a string around the first stake at ground level, and tie it to the second stake in a place where the string is completely level. The length of the string is the run of your garden and the distance between the string\u2019s place on the second stake and the ground is its rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-1150x768.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309-575x384.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-3-iStock-1134910309.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Prioritise any low spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For low spots, the depth of such eyesores will help you to work out the best method of recovery for them. Shallow low spots of up to 2cm or 3cm could mean a DIY job is pretty easy, and you could <strong>top dress<\/strong> a lawn yourself. To do this, you\u2019d simply need to fill out chosen areas with a combination of around two parts sand, two parts topsoil and one part compost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Timing is everything\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you\u2019ll want to start your improvement works in spring, so that your grass seeds have enough time to grow. This time of year should give enough moisture for the soil to settle. About a week before you level your lawn, water it so that the soil isn\u2019t too hard or dry. Be careful not to over-water the soil though, as damp turf can be just as hard to work with as dry soil. To help make sure you\u2019ll have good conditions for digging, dampen the soil again a day before you get to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Build solid foundations for the future\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re set on a plan for how to level your garden, it can be a good idea to find some deep-rooted plants or trees, as this essentially means you\u2019ll future proof your landscaping. If you\u2019re unsure where to start, take a trip to your local garden centre and ask them which plants or trees are native to your area and so will grow well. Finally &#8211; be sure to keep on top of your gardening, as a garden that isn\u2019t well maintained could suffer from fallout erosion, caused when layers of soil under the topsoil shift and wash away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Ask yourself if the job is too big for you\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no shame in seeking landscape gardening advice from a professional, especially if your garden has more complex needs. For example, if there are low spots near water pipes. Sometimes the unsteady ground is caused due to damaged water pipes themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more severe low spots then you may need to install an underground drainage system. Steeper slopes can also prove to be complex to deal with alone, which can erode quickly and cause major challenges to the foundation of your home when left unattended. Adding a single wall or terracing such as with breeze blocks or natural stone is one of the best ways to solve this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that each garden is unique, and your requirements may be very different from those of your neighbour. An expert could give your direction that saves you both time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-1536x1087.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-1150x814.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597-575x407.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/70-4-iStock-1136793597.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a consistent surface to work on is a foundation for much great art, and it\u2019s the same for any garden.
