We are planning on using ready grass / ready lawn / ready turf in our very (!) small yard. The area to be covered is only 4.25m x 2.3m. It's non negotiable on the real grass as we have cats.

The existing grass / dirt isn't in great condition - recent build, lots of builders rubble waste has already been found in the 8 x 6ft section we prepared for the shed.
