I have had all the vegetation scraped off the top to reveal a lot of rock underneath.we live in Wicklow so thie rock is considerable in places..was going to rotavate but the rock could break up the machine.
Looking at getting top soil in now to put over the worst areas. Was quoted today 350 euro for 20 tonnes of screened soil.
Realistically how much ground would this cover? Ground is flat enough and I'm not looking for a manicured lawn finish. Maybe and inch or two of soil with more graded out around the rock.
Again any advice greatly received
