Cutting back wisteria
What's the best time to cut back wisteria? I moved into a cottage last year where it grows over the front and I've no idea how you keep it in check. So far I've seen advice that says to cut it in summer, spring and winter. Which is best?
How much topsoil do I need for grass?
I'm laying turf on a compacted area that had gravel on it previously. How deep should the topsoil layer be? How do I work out how many bags to order?

How much does bamboo removal cost?
The previous owners planted bamboo along the fence and it's now coming up in the middle of the lawn, and next door's too which is awkward. What does proper removal cost, and does it actually work or does it just come back?

Can some of the products used to treat decking to maintain it actually prove harmful? Can this be the case? How can I avoid this or at least reduce the risk? Are some products better to use than others? Thanks in advance.
How to fix a weak DIY fence?
What can I do to protect the fencing in my back garden from windy weather? The fencing was installed about a year ago. We’ve already had one piece of fencing snap last winter and we want to avoid more damage this time round. Is there anything we can fit, preferably discreetly to the fencing to give it more durability?
