Hello, I have been asked to remove an old lawn (a very large area), as it is very neglected and bumpy. Eventually it will be re-turfed, but my question is, is there any specialist tools or machines that could save us doing all the manual work with spades? I also have a second question please. To reduce the likelihood of certain weeds coming through the new turf later on, I was considering flooding the area (once the old lawn is gone) with weed killer before the top soil goes on. Weedol Rootkill plus

Thanks courierdude, I'm not sure of the names of the weeds, a variety of stuff, they just said they didn't want it re-growing through the new turf. Sounds like you are saying to just do the weeding manually and not to bother with mass application of weed killers? I suppose when we are digging out the old lawn, I can take any problematic weeds out by the root as I go along, and any weeds that do re-emerge once the new turf is down, can be tackled individually then. That is interesting you

Thanks Growmore. The area is something like 6m wide x 20m long (approx), nothing like a football pitch. That's a good idea about having a chat with the turf supplier, if there is a machine which can do a good job, I'm sure the clients will consider paying for it. I don't fancy being on my knees all day scooping out old lawn with a spade lol.

Thanks everyone for the help, I've been reading that there are more deciduous climbers for screening purposes than evergreens. Wisteria floribunda and Actimidia chinensis are also quite vigorous for screening, deciduous though.

Hello, it is about 2 m tall max, and 6-8 m long. I'm not sure what direction it faces but I know it gets the most sun in this particular garden. He already has some climbers on there, but they obviously were not vigorous enough and you can see most of the fence. Regards

Hello, someone wants their fence covered with a 'low-maintenance' climber which is vigorous enough to cover a fence. He does not want ivy and as long as it is thick enough to stop most of the fence showing during most of the year, it can be deciduous. Any suggestions appreciated!! Adam

Hi Jon Jon, I looked that up on Google and some of the colours seem to match my photos but the actual foliage seems different with Juniper Blue Chip. I suppose my one is probably a type of Juniper perhaps but I might just have to settle with knowing it is coniferous. Knowing the general family group should give me enough knowledge to have an idea of how to look after it. Thanks

Hello, I believe this is a coniferous plant but does anyone know the scientific name please? Images are slightly out of focus, apologies.

Hi courierdude, I thought so. So the organic material will serve as a mulch; more for decorative and frost protecting reasons, keeping the ground warmer etc? Thanks for your reply Ad
