That is an option for us. The terrace will be done at the earliest next year. Financially, it’s not possible otherwise. Until then, the gravel has to suffice. And the tool shed, etc., will only be built in two or even three years... Until then, there will be grass there, because otherwise the clay soil immediately turns to mud when it rains... That just won’t do. We simply won’t do everything at once....
We also don’t do everything at once – financially that’s just not possible.
But at the moment, I don’t know to what extent the w. will have to come back with an excavator or a truck for the terrace (w. additional gravel), because the current gravel base might not be sufficient. Then they would have to deliver over our topsoil, and the heavy truck will leave wide rut patterns in the fresh lawn.
By the way – the garden house/tool shed will also only come next year – but I still want to have the gravel base laid for it this year (same access problem).
