You can't put anything over it. I'm pretty sure the water board need access to it? We have one on our drive and they came recently to do some work cleaning or something so we had to move the car for them

Looking for advice - if you spend loads of money doing up your garden with plants, decking, planters, pallet creations, etc, do you just leave them there if you move or do you take it/some with you?

Hi guys, just in need of some advice around artificial grass, we dug up the garden last year as the previous owners had ruined the grass and we’re about to get it redone, but can’t decide between real or artificial grass.
