i have just taken up slabs from my back garden and broke up all the
concrete hardcore now i have dug a massive hole and buried all the
hardcore (on a budget didnt want to get a skip) all the soil that i dug
up i have now spread all over the garden with a bit of clay here and
there but not to bad

question 1. do i need to flatten the soil as in roll it or do i just
lightly rake it over before i put the grass seed down.

question 2. what grass seed do you recommend for this type of soil
(clay ish) and it has to be hard wearing because of children and dog
but want something that also looks nice.

First, you have to tell us where you live.
