I have a large(ish) lawn that is quite bumpy when you walk on it, although it looks flat from the house, so no major slopes etc.
The turf is in good condition, very green and grows well, so rather than the expense/hassle of laying new turf, I had an idea to mechanically dig up the existing grass, using a cutting machine from the local hire shop, then flattening the bumpy bits of the garden, and finally relaying the same turf.
I figure the only expense this way is the cost of the machine hire to cut the turf out, can anyone tell me if this is a good, or bad idea, and why?
