Hi All,
In looking to returf and level my garden and wanting some advice.
Its not the best draining lawn at the moment and it has been quite boggy over winter. It was fine last summer.
Im on a budget and doing it myself so is the following likely to work?
Skim top layer of grass and weeds off.
Rotavate whole lawn.
Level it roughly.
Add top soil and sharp sand.
Lay turf
How much top soil and sharp sand do i need, can i just mix them together or would you lay one of them first?
Also is a lawn roller handy to have or are they useless at levelling the soil prior to laying the turf.
Also is there no way i can rotavate current grassy soily weedy garden without taking top layer off? Im not looking for the best of the best result as i know weeds will always grow through anyway, it would just save a lot of time and effort and skip costs.
Garden is south facing.
Cheers
