I've recently moved, and have a small garden, planted borders with a tiny grassed area which is no more than 8ft by 8ft. It's currently attracting the neighbourhood cats. My preference is to get rid of the grass and put down paving, but leaving spaces for plants, if that makes sense. So I'd end up with deepish borders, with some paving in the middle, with pots on, and earth with plants in.
My question is this: Should I attempt to dig up the grass, or should I put weedkiller down? I've always gardened organically in the past, but I'm looking for a quickish solution. I won't be laying the paving myself, I'm, erm, not exactly in the first flush of youth, but for economy would like to get the preparations done before I get a professional in.
Could I have your views please, or indeed any other suggestions.
Thankyou MNers
