I have just bought a house with a 60` x 25` garden and it currently
has about 3 foot tall weeds covering all of it apart from a couple of
trees.

Any ideas on how to clear it. The idea is to returf the whole garden.
Should i hire a petrol strimmer and clear it then turf it? or go at it
with a lot of weed killer and wait a few weeks?
Use a glyphosphate - type weedkiller first, this is absorbed by growing
plants/weeds hence no need to cut them down first , they will die in two
weeks.
