Hello,

Complete gardening novice here.

I'm thinking about having a new laid. Lawn area is approx 80 Sq Meters.

I have a few questions:

1) How much approx will it cost? I don't want a bowling green for a lawn

but
a nice grass.


15 pounds?

2) Is it worth doing myself? or shall I get someone in?


If you get someone else to do anything in the garden, they will charge the
earth. All you need is a couple of big boxes of lawn seed which you can get
in any DIY shop.

3) Would I need any special tools to do it?


A rake, to scarify the surface of the soil, if it has been crushed. You only
really need to make sure the ground is firm and even, and that the surface
is friable.
