Laying Turf on top of concrete

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.33 PM

I've dug up my back garden which was slab paved with a border, underneath the slabs is about 3 x 4.5 of cement about 4-6 cm thick. Can I put down renewed soil topped by topsoil and lay a turf? Any help will be greatly appreciated

NOT A GOOD IDEA AS THE SOIL WILL HEAT UP IN THE SUMMER DUE TO THE CONCRETE UNDERNEATH.IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT THIS WAY MAKE SURE THE CONCRETE IS BROKEN UP TO ALLOW DRAINAGE AND YOU HAVE A DEPTH OF 200MM TOPSOIL.
