One for the avid gardeners amongst you:
We have a scruffy lawn approx 5x6m, it gets plenty of sun and there is one large mature sycamore in the SE corner and a very small apple tree and cherry tree planted by us last summer.
The lawn is uneven, patchy and full of holes caused by lack of maintenance by the previous owner and awful topsoil - which is full of bits of broken brick etc.
We are wanting to level the garden, add topsoil and manure? and then turf the lot. Apparently now is the time to do it.
My questions are:
Can we just hire a rotovator and plough the existing lot up, level it, add new topsoil and turf or do we need to remove the existing lawn and topsoil first?
Secondly, will the rotovator cope with the all the broken bricks, small lumps of concrete/ pot and gravel which are in the topsoil.
Finally, anyone any recommendations for a company in the SE who'll do the whole lot for a reasonable price.
TIA
