    Can established shrubs be moved?

    Is it possible to move established shrubs without killing them? I'd like to redesign the garden layout but there are some hefty shrubs that would need to be moved and it would be a shame to lose them.

    Need advice on incorrectly installed retaining wall and patio

    Sloped garden towards the house, landscaper excavated and built some retaining walls using breeze blocks at the boundary also act as planters. There is a void about a block width between the walls and the fence, is that wrong? Worried about soil erosion and water flowing into the gap and fallen fence. What's the correct way? Patio is built with a fall towards the house, because of previous mistakes, original plan was a channel drain between the top and bottom garden, but now it is going to where the patio meets the house, but between the channel drain and the house there will also be decorative gravel because of uneven facing of the house, I am worried about pooling water in the gravel area, what's best way to rectify? Will self leveling under the gravel work?

    Advice on using a rotavator and roller

    I have a light-duty garden rotavator which I am planning to put to use on my lawn sometime in the spring, maybe February or March, depending on what the weather is like. I’m also thinking of buying a lawn roller at some stage. Should I wait a certain period of time between using a rotavator and lawn roller in my garden? Also, should I consider using a roller before rotavating instead?

    Can you have different coloured grass?

    Can you dye the grass in your garden a different colour? Is this safe and is it even legal? I was thinking of creating an alien-look back garden with maybe blue glass (blue neon would be sensational if possible) and adding fake alien-looking plants throughout to create a unique garden environment.
