The message ws.net
from "Nel" contains these words:

Are the prices in B&Q etc realistic for top soil? I want to try to
level my
lawn but based on the prices, it's going to cost me a small fortune!! Is
there places that sell it in larger quantities at more reasonable prices
(and what kind of price do you consider reasonable)??

Assuming you don't mean you want to adjust the slope of the lawn, you
could use a mixture of sharp sand, lime and potting compost.

Mix it, then put it in the low spots and rake it level.

If the low spots are deep, you might have to re-seed the lawn.

Worms will mix what you've put down into the soil under the lawn, but if
you use plain compost it will decay in a year or three and you'll be
back where you started, hence the sharp sand. The sand will help the
drainage, too. The lime is because grass likes it...
