Hello,
We have purchased a newly built semi-detached house in a new development.
The soil here is very clay-heavy. My question is, how should we start preparing the soil so that we can later sow grass and plant shrubs?
The soil in the garden was dumped by the builder’s team and has become heavily compacted due to frequent driving of machinery over it. Water does not drain properly, and large puddles form quickly in the garden.
There are also many stones mixed in the soil.
What would be the best approach for us?
Should we start by loosening the soil? What would be the best way to do that?
Then remove the stones?
And finally, add sand to the soil?
Thank you very much for your advice.
