looking for some advice. In the process of preparing a fairly large piece of ground for a lawn. The ground is level with a good covering of topsoil. Have sprayed weedkilleer to kill off existing grass. Went to hire a rotivator to dig the ground but the guy told me that the hydraulic rotiavtor wouldnt break the ground, that it would be need to be dug with a digger first.
