Default turf or seed

--[/color]

Neither is best it depends how much work you want to do, and also how long
you can keep people off it for and how much you want to spend. Obviously
newly sown grass will be fragile for a longer period than turf, but it will
be a lot cheaper, but harder work (both in preparation and also keeping the
kids off it for longer). I suppose you could always seed it in two halves.

Turf is also less susceptible to bad weather after laying the lawn, for
example a bad downpour just after sowing could mess things up but it wont
affect turf as long as you dont walk on it.

If i am putting lots of topsoil down to even the lawn out
