Hi Hooksey,

It's looking fabulous I must say and doing it all yourself certainly gives you a sense of achievement.

Just one issue I must ask and that is why have you run your lawn up against the house as this is generally a "no no" and this is mainly due to the issue of white ants and giving them easy access to the dwelling. Do you guys in WA have a white ant issue as we do in Adelaide ? or are they not a problem ?

Just as far as levelling is concerned I use straight dry sand and spread it via a large screeder that I made myself. I've just taken a photo of it and posted it below. All you do is look like a horse dragging it around behind you in all different directions until no more sand is built up in the blade area of the screeder, or add more sand as required. I am currently doing a lawn build myself and have just made this one up, it's probably about the 5th one that I've made as they are just too awkward to store and are only made out of builders scrap.

Cheers,
BB
