My Son has moved to a modern house with two man holes stuck right in
the middle of his lawn the lawn that was laid is all weeds and very
uneven, the gardenis very small.Think I might take up the lawn and
re-do but what do I about these man holes, any ideas? They need the
garden to be child friendly. Does anyone know a link for garden
layouts?

You can buy recessed manhole covers specially made for your problem that you
can plant with turf, or block paving.

You would only see the thin edge then.
