Question
hi, I am currently leveling off an area in my yard in preparation for a flagstone patio (12'x 15')with garden boxes. I have placed weed block tarp down and have ordered appx. 6" of fill dirt. Should I remove the paper before spreading the remaining dirt, or just compact the dirt on top of the paper? The area is boxed out in wood, so the fill sliding is not an issue. Thank you

Answer
Hello,

Do not place the weed barrier below the soil. Weeds will simply grow on top of the barrier. Lay the barrier on top of the soil and place mulch over the barrier. Good luck. Let me know if I can be of further help.
