Overgrown weeds and grass on lawn area
hi guys,
new member and new home owner. I've recently moved into my first home and I have an extremely overgrown lawn area in the back garden. Since moving I have sprayed some very strong weed killer on the area and have what I can with my hands and got it down to a much more respectable level..still a million miles where I want it to be. Which is back to the lawn it once must have been... But I really don't know where to go from here .
Whats my next plan of action? Do I have to dig it up? ill attach me photos of where I've got it too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Carlos and welcome
If you have a look here http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/maintain-the-garden/how-to-renovate-your-lawn/
and scroll down you'll find a video on how to prepare the ground to lay turf.
Hope that helps

It does help. Thank you very much.
I guess il start the digging at the weekend and get myself prepared to turf down.
Thankyou
One of the most important things is the thorough firming of the soil before turfing - otherwise you'll have a lumpy and bumpy lawn.
