Could u post a pic for us to see the scale of the job.

Skips are pricey enough - u may not need one.
Dont "compact" anything toomuch.

grass turf is quick and easy to put down

1. Buy a pair of heavy duty rubber gloves
2. Pull the flower stems up, slowly, and make sure you pull the roots up
3. Toss the soil using a pitch fork to make sure any remaining flower roots won't take root, and ensure you are just left with a bare earth patch
4. Leave bare for 4 weeks to ensure nothing is re-taking root
5. Plant grass seeds
