Could grass grow over this sand (if I top-soil it)? I’m based in Scotland so get plenty of rain! I recently bought my first home and stripped out the astroturf the previous owner had put in as I can’t stand plastic grass. Underneath, the ground has been levelled in sand (I want to say about 10cm deep). Below that, there is weed membrane (but weeds grow through it anyway!) I’m fed up of looking at sand every time I look outside and I’m not currently in a financial position to get any huge amounts of landscaping work done. I have bought about 10 bags of top soil (and will need to buy more), and 5 boxes of lawn seed. My question: is it as easy as putting down top soil, planting the seed, and grass will grow? Or am I grossly underestimating the amount of work that might need done? I’m really not sure of my end goal, but I just want my garden to look semi-decent until I figure out how to take it to the next level. Thanks in advance for any help! I don’t have any close family or friends who could teach me this kind of stuff and the Google was giving me mixed messages :D Originally by u/clownfeetz on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2d7rnk7e
