Levelling your garden is an essential first step in the process. If you’re doing the work for yourself, the main costs are for topsoil and any tools you don’t already have. Using a spade, digger, or tilling machine, work the soil surface. Dig to a depth of 15-20cm, mixing the surface soil. This helps break up the soil texture, making it more workable while aerating the earth for healthy foundations for your new grass plants. Step 5: Find the ground’s highest point

Building a shed or a garden office: your new building requires structural integrity. You’ll need a perfectly level surface before you begin your building project.
