6. When moving soil around a site - remember

Beware damp-courses

Don't pile soil above the damp-course of buildings. The final level of the surface should be six inches below the damp-course so that rain-splash doesn't wet the wall above. Remember to allow for the thickness of any paving and bedding sand on top of the soil.

Protect plants

Don't pile soil higher than previously found around the trunks and stems of trees and shrubs as this could kill them.
