    Hi,

    I suddenly have a 1.5m sq sinkhole in the paved area of my backyard about half a meter deep. It just happened. The site used to have a small tree but dead many years ago. Anyone who can recommend someone to repair? Thanks.

    A1 Mini Loads for clean fill and SMS Landscaping & Gardening for the labour. I'd also check to make sure the tree wasn't growing on top of a soak well.

    Sure you don’t have any drainage services running through the area?

    Not that I know of. I have lived there for over 20 years. I do observe that it has been a water logging area after rain and always have a patch of sand when dried up
