hi i am trying to sort my garden and i have a higher area that at the moment is gravel but we cant use it as it stinks as cats use it as a litter box, i would like something done so it is either grass or concrete. I noticed it has sunk a bit so i would like some advice on whether i could put a lawn on it and possible get some top soil down to get it level or is it best to concrete over, advice would be great, i dont know much about gardening to be honest lol

Dawn is there any chance that you could show us a photograph of the piece of land you are talking about? It's difficult to give advice unless we can see exactly what the problem area looks like.

not a problem i will post a picture in the morning, i have moved some of the gravel to see what is underneath and i think it has been used as a dumping ground as there is slabs and bits of concrete underneath and that is just a area i have looked at

Im not sure about the sinking part, but grass/lawn is almost always nicer then just plain concrete, if you are trying to keep it simple

Than again grass needs to be mowed, so think about that
