Newbie here.

I've got a bumpy lawn, from which I want to lift the turf, level the soil
underneath, and re-lay the turf.

Will a turf lifter work on a less-than-perfect surface?

Thanks,
Alan

It'll lift the turf but if it's really bumpy it'll be uneven thickness so
when you put it back down you'll still have a bumpy lawn. If it's just
gentle bumps then the turf lifter should follow the contour and you'll be
alright

You'd better have a large less than perfect lawn. I was going to hire such
a machine but at £35 per day I would not have got my money's worth so I used
a spade!! I was glad I decided to do so because it started raining an hour
or two after I started lifting the grass.

I now have gravel chippings and raised beds with no grass to cut!
