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

John:

If you have the plants out - depending on your location and the type of
grass you want, it might not be too late to plant grass seed. Sounds
like that is what you want in the long run. Otherwise, you might try
Round up to kill the existing plants and then weed barrier to keep
growth down until you are ready to plant, though the latter may not be
needed.

HTH,

Nick
