Was using photobucket but no matter what code only showed links to my photobucket album which would rather keep seperate pics showing than links to albums

I'm had the same problem mate. Took me over a year to post pics on this site.
Make an imgur account and you'll be putting pics up straight away.

Cheers Tony. Took a while to get posting pictures but got there in the end.
The clients are over the moon Tony. Lovely couple too so I'm really happy they got a nice garden.
The stone is Marshalls indian sandstone buff multi.
That wacker was used on the topsoil Dan.
When I lay turf I use fine dry topsoil, screed first, waker, screed over the top with a bit just to get properly level then lay good quality turf.
Its the way I've always done it and the lawn ends up like a golfing green.

Should never do that to the soil before laying turf. It creates a pan in the soil, and can be bad fro drainage in the long run.

That's how I've always done it and never had any problems Dan. The fresh stuff only goes in 50mm deep BTW and has an aggregate in it.
The lawn is now as flat as a pancake and will have minimal settlement

Here are a couple more pictures just so you can see the stuff we use.
