Cheap way to infill/level a garden

6.8K Posts


I've got a sloping garden and have decided to level the lawn, by putting up a concrete block retaining wall and infilling.
Problem is - what's the cheapest way to buy infill material? The builder's merchant didn't seem to stock anything obvious, and as I guesstimate I'll need around 2 cubic meters (possibly more) it would be very expensive to do with builder's ballast.
Any ideas for practical ways to infill would be appreciated.

You would know exactly what the stuff was, it would be delivered ( an expensive item)
You could find free 'stuff' just a mile away , but how are you going to move it?
My first thought , think drainage.
I'm working on my neighbour, trying to persuade him to knock down and rebuild his wall (it needs it) but I don't think he's going to go for that.
Just wondering if there's a direct source of crushed building rubble, for example.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
