You can rent a petrol turf cutting machine from HSS hire centres or
other similar places for about £50 for a weekend.

He'll spend more time getting and returning the machine than actually
cutting on a 15' x 6' lawn! Couple of hours with a spade would have that
area lifted.

But as some one has pointed out is the OP a "sticker" or will lunch and
some footy on the TV in the afternoon mean that the garden gets left for
12 months... Digging, lifting, moving is hard physical work and can be a
bit of a shock to the system.
