 Landscape design :: Lawn :. Starting a new lawn
 Sowing is the cheapest way to do this, but the grass will take several weeks to establish. Laying turf is much quicker but is also much more expensive.

Whichever method is used, the site will need to be prepared well beforehand. Any existing plants should be removed, either by hand-weeding thoroughly or by applying a systemic weedkiller containing glyphosate.

Once these are dead, dig over the ground, removing any large stones or debris. Sprinkle on a general fertiliser and rake the area until level. Finally, tread over the site to consolidate the soil.
