Only major job left in the garden is the lawn - but worrying it's getting a bit late in the year - when is the latest the experts would recommend for laying? I'm at least 2 weekends away from being ready.
Also with regards prep I plan to get as many stones etc off the top as I can (most of which got there from digging other parts of the garden), rotovate and level and maybe mix in some sort of soil improver. I don't want to take loads off to replace with topsoil if possible as the soil does seem fairly OK (and I've shifted tonnes already!!), but want to give the lawn every chance - is that something that would work? If so what is the best thing to "add" to improve the soil.
Bulk of the lawn is fairly shady - should I get a specific type of turf for this?
Many Thanks
