Turf gravel garden
What is typically involved in converting a gravel garden (soil underneath) into a regular grass garden? How much would it cost to have done, assuming the garden is thirty-two square metres? Is it cheaper than getting artificial grass? How long does the process usually take? Is the quality of turf used hugely important? How do I know if the installer is using good quality turf?

How do I make my current fence more private?
I currently have concrete fencing and we recently took lots of trees down from an old pond. This now has created privacy issues. Is there anything that can be done to make the current fence taller on a low budget? I don’t want to replace the fence just as it’s a solid concrete fence.
Turf on stone and sand
We are due to have astro turf laid and have had the stone put down for it, well have the sand on it just before the astro is laid. The reason for astro turf is because we have dogs and we felt it would be better. However I've been reading today that astro turf gets a lot hotter in the summer than grass and may make it unusable, it can also bubble and shrink with the weather. If we were to change our minds and go for turf instead, could it be laid on top of the stone and sand or would we have to start again?
Importing seeds from abroad
