I have a 5x5m former shrubbery I'm turning into a nice formal lawn in front of my house. It's got a slight but noticeable slope and I'd like to build it up to be level, with sleepers or dry stone walling retaining it.
Is there a standard way to ensure it is level? I'm picturing pegs and string but not quite sure how to do this, other than clumsily trying to rest a spirit level on a string which seems error prone.
One corner is at the desired level, the opposite corner is perhaps a foot low. I feel there must be an easy way to do this but I can't figure it out!
