OK that sounds sensible. Question Time:
- when you say 'get rid of the crap grass'...dig it out or weedkiller or ???
- 'levelling the earth' - what's best to use? topsoil? just in the low spots to bring them up to the same level as the high points or a layer across the whole lawn (covering the ok grass too)?
Thanks for the tips!

Definitely digging. It should come off as a layer, as the roots don’t go deep. You can find the level underneath by pushing horizontally with a spade, as it will suddenly get easier when you’re beneath the roots. It’s like cutting turf, but you don’t care about actually preserving the turf in one piece.

You’ll probably want topsoil across the whole thing to give the turf something to take to, unless the soil underneath your grass is ok.
