Hello,
we moved into our house in January, the weather is getting better now so I wanted to start with the garden soon. Our construction company has kindly already started with the excavation of the foundation and geothermal collectors and has roughly leveled our garden. Nevertheless, we still have quite a big pile of earth in the garden. At the spot where the collectors are buried, it is quite damp after rain and puddles form. Our soil is quite clayey. There used to be a brickyard in the village.
Now I am wondering how to proceed correctly. My plan was to spread the remaining earth and sand (how much?) on our property and then plow through with a garden tiller once. After that, rake out and wait 2 weeks before sowing.
My goal is not a perfect English lawn, rather a somewhat even playing field for the kids. Our property is 1030m², slightly sloping towards the southeast, and we have a large cherry and walnut tree which I want to avoid damaging as much as possible. Two medium-sized birches are also on the property.
Can I do it the way I thought or am I on the wrong track? After all, I don’t want to have to start over next year.
