My lawn sits on a very solid clay base and, although it looks fairly decent from a distance, it feels like I’ve hosted a polo match on it whenever I walk across it.

I’ve had problems in the past with parts of the garden flooding, so I think certain areas have sunk over time. As a result, it now feels lumpier than ever.

I was wondering whether a good topsoil and sand mix might help level it out.

I’ve had “lawn experts” round before. The last one said he would need to lift the whole lawn and re level it, which was going to cost around £2,500 back in 2021. While I do not necessarily disagree, I suspect that within five years it will probably end up back in the same state again.

It's around 50m x 10m

As this is the gramophone and magic lantern subforum, I suggest you get a DSP app to make it look level.

My neighbour swears by gold-plated terminals and oxygen-free cable for keeping his lawn smooth. hehe

Get yourself to Russ Andrews- he’s got loads of products he claims will reduce a noise floor - I think that’s a fancy word for garden.
