Hi
I hope this is the correct place to post, if not please let me know where to re direct to.
I moved into a new house back in August, and the back garden isn't the greatest. There is an uneven part which we have since discovered is where a pond used to be. I've no idea how far under the "grass" it is but am aware that the heavy plastic sheet is still under there. I plan to dig it up, remove the plastic and depending on what's under there, properly fill it in. This is where I need so advice.
If there is all sorts under I gather would remove and replace with soil? The area I live in is clay soil, I read somewhere that if I'm filling with soil it should of the same type?
There are other jobs I plan to do, lay slabs, paths etc, so plan to dig up other parts. Would it be acceptable if instead of trying to put the dug up soil into bags to transport to the recycling centre, could I use it to fill the pond? I would make sure I take top layer off with the "grass" and weeds on it only to use the soil and stones etc.
Any help appreciated.
