I have an average sized garden. With two growing children I have found myself gradually giving up flower beds and sowing grass seed with the result that our lawn is uneven, mossy, weed filled and generally unpleasant. I am currently adding to the grass space and reducing flower beds again and this time I want to do it right. Would it be best to dig up the entire lawn, level it and start again? Is there a machine I can get to lift the grass or is it a case of digging bit by bit? I assume then I should put down top soil and even it all out, what kind of grass would you recommend for a play area? Thanks!
