I want to level my cobbly feeling lawn. It feels like walking on cobble

I am looking for someone who can deliver a ton or ton and half of
topsoil to my home in Leeds.
I found a place about 8 miles away who would deliver 1 ton for £65, and
I don't know if that is a reasonable price or not.
Does anyone know of anyone more locally who would/can deliver what I want.


A roller would be much better imho.

I wouldnt pay £65 for a tonne of subsoil.

Who said anything about subsoil?
Using a roller to try to level a lawn is the worst thing you can do if
there is any amount of irregularity in the surface level.
Everything you learn about turf care says "Don't compact"
