Help needed to repair back garden

[durga1986]

Hi all,

I am new to mumsnet, we recently bought a house in scotland and trying to repair the back garden, i have no idea where to start? Right now it has lot of Dandelions,moss and bald patches. We are getting quotes of around £1500 to lay a new turf, we don't afford to spend this much money now. I tried to get rid of Dandelions, but the roots are so deep it created lot of holes in the lawn. Please someone suggests me how to attach a photo here?

What's the best way to go forward?

That's impressive! Well done.

Painting the fence and Turfing is done now, thanks for all the advises.

What a difference, it looks great, totally worth all the hard work.
