Okay, it's a long shot I know, but...
We live in a rural area. Our property sits on a small 'b' road that is frequented by some pretty thunderous HGVs.
As these mega-monsters pass over the undulations in the road's surface, we experience 'tremors' which I'm desperate to mitigate.
My ideas thus far are:-
1. Break up the concrete driveway (that may be transferring the vibrations) and replace with gravel, which will also help with surface water (the drive needs replacing anyway).
2. Dig a narrow (but very deep) trench along the border of my property and backfill it with sand (?) in the hope that this will act as a dampener of sorts.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for listening!
