Fake grass to to real.

Hi all youngest daughter is moving into a house next week that has a small area of fake lawn. She wants to replace it with the real stuff. Anyone know the best way to dispose of the horrible plastic stuff and any tips on laying turf? She has been told to wait until autumn but she has a little boy who will want to play outside well before then. Any advice gratefully received

 

As @JWK says, the important thing is to know what is under the artificial grass. If it is just soil, then that will need to be dug over as it will almost certainly be hard packed and turf won't stand a chance on it.
To get rid of the artificial stuff, it if is just a small area simply cut it up and put it in the bin.
