LAYING NEW LAWN????

[par1sons]

Whats the process i need to under go for laying new lawn.

The back garden is big (10m x 25m) and used to be owned by a builder. The builder decided to use his garden as a collects yard so now the garden area is now home to tons of bricks. Once i have removed all the bricks from the soil etc, what do i do then?
All im after is the process in step order. I have a little lad who needs a garden asap and i refuse to pay someone a silly amount of money when with a bit of hard graft i could do it myself. I hope you can all help, Cheers

I used rolawn..Good quality turf.

This will tell you all you need to know, to lay your own lawn........

The only thing to do different from the advice they give you, is to prepare your soil 2 or 3 weeks before laying your turf.
This will enable you to kill any weeds that sprout up, before you lay your turf, otherwise the weeds will grow right through your nice new lawn......
