    Hello,

    Newbie in Cambridge CB4 with a lawn that needs creating.

    There's a fall from front to rear of ~ 200 mm that wants levelling / lifting. Soil is ~12" of "topsoil" (clay with some dark brown bits in), 12-18" of "subsoil (lighter clay that sets fairly hard in the summer sun), then sand/gravel.

    Probably a job for a landscaper even if I have always wanted to play with a mini digger but advice on what to ask for welcome!

    Surface area to level is ~ 50 square meters (7 metres by 7 metres). Easy access 110 cm width. Access 175 cm width possible by removing exceedingly heavy fence panel and gravel board. Grab truck and handball it?

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner markocosic. If you post in the 'Lawns' forum you will get a better response there. :)
