I'm wanting my garden levelling and turfing, however there use to be a large hole in the garden which we've been having fires in and I left with a rather horrible patch, any suggestions to turfing over this and general costs, the gardens roughly 5m by 15m

Does it definitely all need re turfing? What does it look like with a mow?
you might find you can just patch the bald area with turf once you've cleared it and dug it over - a lot cheaper!
ot do you need it all re turfing as it needs levelling? I can't tell from the pics how level it is.
It's really un level all order I do need it all levelling out
Ive started cutting it today it dips down in the middle, I have no idea what to do to this garden??
Thats a great start. It already looks much better.
I'd do this one bit at a time. First clear the rock debris from the old bonfire and take it down the tip (or if you don't have a car then use your wheely bin and just put in a couple of bricks a week).
If the old flagstone path isn't really needed you could lift that using a spade or crowbar.
Cut the hedge. Perhaps dig a border for some plants.
The lawn doesn't look bad at all. If you get a lawn care guy in he will treat it and can level using a few bags of topsoil on top. You don't need to spend thousands on this. All these jobs could be done by you or by a gardener / handyman.
