What to do with a new lawn?

[Bull]

I have no prior knowledge of gardening so forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question but what should I do with a back garden of a new house where the lawn is uneven/patchy etc and fully of weeds. Should I just dig it up, remove rocks/rubble etc and reseed. If so is their a quick way of digging up a garden. I have seen people use the term rotavate in other posts????

Hi Bull,

You may find something useful in the key post on Lawn Care. There are some good recommendations in it.

Bull - i am not an advertisement for the ALCI but I am qualified in horticulture 4 and half years of it. [This option Depends on the firm].... but the ALCI [landscape contractors association [broken link removed] should help you. Just ring somebody in your region. You can 'try' and get a bit of free advice via mail/ call or pay for a consultation, which in my opinion is the best option. The recommendation would need more info to be cost effective
