    Afternoon,

    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    My situation is...

    I moved into a property last year with a wavy border line.... i.e half circles

    I would like to create a straight 18" border all around the fence line...

    How would you go about it? just cut and lay turf or build up with soil and seed?

    Thanks

    What is the difference in width of border between the crest and trough of the wavy lines? If it's quite narrow at the crest you could cut the crest off and reverse it into the trough.

    Otherwise, I would use turf, cut off the crests and lay the turf in a straight line.

    I would turf - it's quicker.
