Hello everyone, I need a quick tip from you!
Our earthworks are starting, the rough staking has been done, and the company that will carry out the work is coming early tomorrow. I asked the person in charge at the company for a quick favor: in the area where they actually don’t have to work (the future garden area), to roughly turn over the top 10 cm (4 inches) of soil because there is a lot of wild growth there… (see photo).
Is it better to have this area plowed once, or should the soil together with the vegetation be removed and stored somewhere on the property?
Please give me quick advice, since we still have the chance to tell the workers what to do tomorrow. 🙂
NOTE: Since our building site was pre-filled with sand (included in the price along with the road costs), we will hardly have any topsoil left on the property after the earthworks…
