    Do I need a Landscaper or a Carpenter?

    I am disabled and need to have two raised beds put in on level ground. DIY is beyond me. Should I be looking for a landscape gardener or a carpenter for this job? And is it too small to interest a tradesperson? Thank you.

    How do I make my current fence more private?

    I currently have concrete fencing and we recently took lots of trees down from an old pond. This now has created privacy issues. Is there anything that can be done to make the current fence taller on a low budget? I don’t want to replace the fence just as it’s a solid concrete fence.

    Turf on stone and sand

    We are due to have astro turf laid and have had the stone put down for it, well have the sand on it just before the astro is laid. The reason for astro turf is because we have dogs and we felt it would be better. However I've been reading today that astro turf gets a lot hotter in the summer than grass and may make it unusable, it can also bubble and shrink with the weather. If we were to change our minds and go for turf instead, could it be laid on top of the stone and sand or would we have to start again?
