What to do with this protruding grid in garden?

Relentless81 · 27 Feb 2016 at 11:36

Hi,

I'm looking for some ideas please, maybe someone has dealt with something similar?

The grid protrudes from the ground and the grey bit up to the paving is concrete so I cant put grass around it, the previous owner covered it up with loose bricks which I want to remove

I am going to dig up the grass and re-turf to the right and I was hoping I could turf around the grid but after removing the bricks and discovering the concrete I cant

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks, not sure I'm willing to smash out the concrete, knowing my luck with these things I'll end up smashing a hole into the sewer, I figure the previous people must have left the concrete for a reason

What about permanently cementing the some of the bricks in around the edge and filling it with loose stones? I only idea I can come with that doesn't involve anything drastic and too much time/money

Got one on the other side, good suggestion though

I think I'm going to make a border from the brick in the pics and fill it with loose slate stones and then put a bird bath in the middle

Never done anything with brick before so going to read up on how you make it level, suggestions greatly received, thanks

Its being covered with loose stones? If a drain guy cant shift loose stones then there are bigger issues at hand
