where do i start, i’m wanting to relawn my garden. its already part lawned with lots of weeds in, then the other part is just weeds and mud where a large shed covered, my guess was to dig up the surface of the lawn, dig up the weeds, rotivate it, add top soil to level it, then seed.. is there a faster way to do it but still keeping the cost down i.e. hired tools, do i need to dig up the old grass or can i just rotivate it,or am i going around this the wrong way Thanks for any adviceelliot render

It is possible to kill an existing lawn with Roundup and over-sow directly into the dying or dead grass with lawn seed, even just a week after spraying and this is a very easy way to re-sow a lawn.
You could even out the soil where the shed was to match the existing lawn, then over-sow both areas and feed both areas with lawn fertilizer to even out the growth.
