If you can rent a rotavator then I say go for it. between three of us we did 3/4 of an acre in a weekend, don't reccomend that. But we also did a couple of 200sqm lawns in a day each from rotavating to turf laying. The only thing I would say is make sure you have a really good rake, in fact if you are renting a rotavator it may be worth seeing if the hire place rents out landscaping rakes, they are around £50 to buy, and I have never found much of a use for mine beyond laying turf...

Thinking of getting one to aid putting down some top dressing. My lawn is a bit of a mess with holes, bumps etc but I'd rather fix it slowly over a few years than dig it up and start again.

Well that makes me feel a lot better about the deck.
I'm not sure install dog does the trick in London with foxes. Ours could give two shits about me and the pup being in the garden, the cheeky bastards.
Anyhow following on from the above picture, I'm just debating whether to get someone in to do the lawn (rotovate, sand/topsoil mix to level, and then re-turf) or just to try and do it myself in the span of 2 days.
I'm fairly efficient when I get an idea stuck in my head, so can anyone persuade me to not try and get it done before the heavy rain on thursday?
The alternative is wait till late march, when we've done the beds, which is probably the logical choice, but its currently a fucking mud-pit out there, which when you add small lab pup= nightmares (however good she is).
