Hi
I wonder if anyone can give advice?
I have a back yard with a surface of victorian setts. It is currently unused as the surface is obviously uneven. I would like to create a level surface in one corner for patio furniture and possibly raised beds for planting. I need a simple solution which I could maybe do myself. I unsure about drainage etc Any thoughts would be really appreciated as I would like to transform it in time for summer.
Thank you
Dawn

Hi Dawn,

how is your carpentry? a simple deck would not be too difficult if you have some DIY skills

beltnbrace thanks for your reply,
Unfortunately not that great! But good to know it is possible on that type of surface. May have to get someone in to do that.

Thanks I thought about it and have lifted some when I had a fence put up. Do you think lifting a small area to level it is ok? Or would you do the whole yard?
