Hi, I have a small front garden approx 60 sq.metres and wish to make it into
a lawn (We already have a fair sized rear lawn). At present it contains
various bushes, shrubs and plants which will all have to be taken out.

Having done that what is the best way to proceed? I hear various advice.
Should I put a membrane down to discourage weeds coming through, or apply
strong weedkiller etc?

Any advice gratefully received as I have never attempted this kind of thing
before.

Regards
John

Dig it all over and put seeds down now before the weather gets too
cold, or do it next year. Some people dig over, then wait for weeds to
come through then kill them, then put down seed but it depends how
susceptable the soil is to weeds.
