Hallo, ich suche einen Vormarsch, um mein künstliches Gras (vom Vorbesitzer gelegt) zu ersetzen und durch einen echten Rasen zu ersetzen.
Es sieht so aus, als wäre es ungefähr 2 Zoll Sand und dann Hardcore darunter.
Meine Fragen sind, wenn ich den Sand entfernen und durch Boden ersetzen würde, wäre das eine geeignete Basis für einen Rasen?
Vielen Dank im Voraus !

Depends on the depth, if it’s only on a couple of inches of sand you’ll need to lose the hardcore too. You’ll need at least 25cm of soil depth. Also sand and hardcore may have a high salt content which will not be good for growth.
Thanks for restoring your grass!
I’m doing the same. I’ll be digging a 300mm deep ‘pit’ and adding back in new soil. I will be hiring a digger.
I did this about this time last year (will post the pics if I can find them as the situation was similar).
Best advice I had at the time was to dig a trial pit and find out how far down the hardcore goes, and what you’ve got underneath. I knew from the two pits I dug that I had about 6 inches of very compacted gravel, underneath which was nice chalky clay. I went with gravel on top in the end.
As it should be 👍
Good for you mother nature approves this approach
Well done and thank you!
You may need to break up some of the hardcore. You can hire rotavators from most tool hire places and that’ll do a good job.
I did this a couple of years ago to one of the two astroturfs the last owner stuck in. We had underneath a membrane, then compacted grit, for many cm, then about 15cm of compacted sub base, then 30cm of rubble and builders waste under that. I dug it all by hand and it was a right good work out. The gravel I used in other areas of the garden And sub base went off in builder’s tubs to new homes. Rubble and waste to the tip. I wish now I’d just hired a skip, as it took a good while of back and forth. And the astro went on freecycle. You’d not believe how folk went mad for it and how many people wanted it. In the giant hole I used a mixture of soil improver and toil soil and compost, and existing soil from other parts of the garden. It wasn’t cheap, and most of the cost was on soil etc. Then I turfed it, as I just wanted it done by this point. Ha ha.
I’ve been temporarily putting off removing the other astro which is done the same way, but has 4 times the area, until I’ve done other garden and house jobs now, but every time I look outside and see it, I get that urge to burn it with a flame thrower. This Spring/Summer it’s going down.
Had something similar to this in my last place.
Dug out 60-70% of the sand.
Mixed remaining with compost.
Planted seed, watered.
Month later had some grass.
