    Firstly, artificial grass is a no no for animals. Personally I would dig the area over, add some topsoil then plant a Chamomile lawn.

    image.jpeg image.jpeg Well a gorgeous day today...so I said sod it..I'm gonna crack this out myself...

    Started it at 1.30/2pm....finished 7.30....

    We had loads of stones,rocks,bricks,tree roots ( thick as well) metal poles from buried clothes line...the "professional" did a really crap job when he did it....

    Next will be 2 tonne of top soil then new turf...

    Do I need to put any extra fertiliser pellets of something like that before the new turf

    Will the height be overlapping your fence panel bottom edges?
    If so they will rot in no time if you are planing to raise the level of the lawn from what it was.
