I've seen machines on Ground Force and the like which take off the top the
level of turf on your lawn.

I'd like to do this so I can prepare a level surface and then re-lay my old
turf.

What's the official name for these machines and can they be hired easily?

Regards,

Ian

Some hire shops do have them, though you may have to queue up behind
the cowboys to get your turn. I suppose they're called
"turf-cutters".

I wonder, though, how well you'll get on if your lawn is so uneven
that you want to take such drastic measures. If it's so bumpy that
the usual dodges are too laborious, is it perhaps so bumpy that the
machine won't run smoothly over it? (I merely ask.)

Hewden hire centres do them. Warning they make it look easy on the
television and it aint!. There are two types one you push the other has
powered rear wheels. Get the one with powered wheels it is a little easier.
