Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was about to have my garden levelled out and astro laid, I had a quote and work arranged but the person has suddenly left the country for 2 months and can no longer do the works. Can you help? Need to have experience of doing the below works please as I have had bad experience with an inexperienced fence fitter before:


THE BRIEF: Create a 2 -tier garden using sleepers as soil retention and lay with an artificial grass, resetting some of the fence panels.


THE WORK:

*supply and fit approx 12x 2.4m sleepers along LH boundary and across centre of lawn to delineate the 2 tier. Sleepers to be fixed with steel stakes drilled through the centre


*skim off grass from the lawn and dispose of. Level the soil to create the 2 tiers, removing any excess soil.


*supply and lay approx 8 tonnes of ballast over the soil. Beat the ballast with wacker plate to flatten and compact


*supply and lay approx 4 tonnes of sand over ballast to provide drainage, beat sand with wacker plate to flatten.


*supply and lay approx 50m2 of artificial grass to the 2 areas. Supply and fit joining tape to make up the 5m width of the garden, stretch and fix with metal staples


*supply and fit approx 8x new gravel boards to the base of fence on LH side of garden to cover up holes made by change of level


*detatch 4x fence panels from 2x posts, dig out 2x posts and create holes for new posts. Supply and fit 2x new 75x75mm posts set it postcrete. Reattach fence panels.


Works to take approx 9-10 working days based on 8am-5pm.


If you can help please can you dm me quotes and availability. Looking to get the work done yesterday!

    • WoW Sue, all guns blazing. 
    • So you don't feel safe in London, but you don't want to live elsewhere? What do you do, barricade yourself in your home and never venture out? I have my eyes (sic)  open. Yes there is crime in London. That doesn't make London "lawless".
    • Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality. 
    • Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold, or in hopes of insurance money), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.
