Laying Limestone Patio

My concern is with that raised bed is,

1) It is being built up against cheapo overlap fencing panels. What's the need for it to be raised so much?

2) The lack of topsoil depth - it appears to being used as a dump for paving debris.



So just why is that bed being raised, only to negate any benefits by filling it with rubble and burying the boundary fencing?

 

They removed some of the rubble before putting the rest in.

I'm really beginning to think that i've made a big mistake. The turf already looks like it's dying. And this doesn't look right, does it?

 

It will need watering, daily, this time of the year ... at least for a week or so, then I would move to every other day, but giving it a good enough soak that the water goes through the turf and there is plenty under the turf to encourage the roots to "Knit" downwards. From there you can move to less frequent, in small steps.

I reckon it will need a good 30 minutes with a sprinkler to get enough water onto the turf (each time that you water)
