Can I lay sod on top of gravel?
Anonymous user 31/08/2026 - 4:45 PM
My yard is covered with 3/4 inch stones and gravel but I'm hoping to turn it into a nice grassy area. Can I just put some topsoil and lay down grass over the gravel or do I need to get rid of the gravel first to prepare the soil before laying the grass? Any advice? Thanks!
