Tools for lawn prep for half acre
Hi,
I've bought an old farm house, the garden has been left to ruin. It's approx half and acre and relatively square.
I'd like to get it back to a nice basic lawn. I don't need bowling green, I'm not worried about a few dips or a bit of weeds (I can fix those over time)
I've had loads of building work done, it's now largely mud mixed with loads of stone, brick, glass etc.
I think what I need to do, is pull the top layer off, remove all the brick and stone. Then level it and then drop a lot of good fine top soil. How do I do this at quite a big scale? Anyone got any good videos or articles covering this challenge?
I think with it being square and open I could get a compact tractor in but something smaller would be better. What attachments should I use, I tried a petrol rotavator but this just turns all the mud over and surfaces more bricks and glass.
I have quite a bit lot of retrieved soil spare, I have a scheppach soil sieve that I could use to make fairly good fine material (albeit probably weeks of effort)
It's a wonderful problem to have but it's overwhelming at the moment.
Thanks
