Hi all,
I have a new build that I purchgased in 2020. It has a small garden at the back that I'm planning to re-grass (Is this even the right term) myself. I've read that autumn is a good time to do it as there is less competition from weeds. My plan is to remove all the top layer of grass/weeds, level the soil and install rolled lawn. How would i do this? I've read about renting some machinery like a rotavator for it to be easier. After this, would I need to add some top soil before rolling the lawn? Am I crazy by trying to this on my own? It's roughly a 25 sqm garden and the quotes for instralling grass that I've got are really expensive
