I lifted some old slabs in an area of my garden and would like to plant grass. What would be the process of doing this? There is around 2 inch depth between where the old slabs where and the current grass. Thanks in advance.

I have have a very small room that used to be a bathroom. The walls are terrible so I was planning on putting some plasterboard on the walls and getting a plasterer out. I am getting a window fitting on the other wall so it looks out to the garden so this one is not needed. Would it be possible...
