Hi @mann,

Here are some guides that should be helpful in explaining the jobs ahead of you:

• How to lay synthetic turf

• How to lay paving for a path.

Please have a good read and let us know if you have any specific questions that we can assist with. It would also be helpful to share some photos of the area and perhaps a basic sketch or plan of what you are planning.

If you're still in the planning stages of transforming your garden, this helpful guide by experienced member @Adam_W should be useful: How to plan a garden makeover.

We are looking forward to seeing your project progress.

Hi @mann,

That's a large area, and if you're going to be removing 100m of soil, so your synthetic turf ends up flush with the surrounding area (as per the instructional video below), then it would be quite a bit of manual labour. Consider hiring a rotary tiller to break up the soil, as it will then be much easier to remove with a shovel. I recently removed 50mm off a 3 x 3m area by hand, and I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience.

Have a look at the video below. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
