New Garden

Hi all,
am just in the process of flattening my garden but need some advice.
The garden has already got a big patch of lawn in the middle and also has a large amount of stones in the soil around it.
So the question is:
- Do I attempt to remove all stones (which would take ages)
- Do I get rid of all the grass thats there and buy turf for for the whole area
- Do I only turf the bits that need doing?
- Do I use grass seeds?
Or should I do a mixture of all of the above?
(please see picture of garden as it is today...
Thanks for all your help and advice.
Cheers.

Welcome Thorsten; stones occur naturally in soil, I wouldn't worry about them. The soil looks as if it could do with a bit of conditioning; perhaps dig in some well rotted manure? With the grass, there is a slight problem; if you add more turf or re-seed, the chances are that it will be a different mixture of grass seeds and it will come up a different shade of green.
I think I would personally remove all of the grass and buy new grass for the area as it's not too big an area.
