Hello.
We have recently built a new house, and now we are working on the garden. The lawn area is about 400m² (4,300 sq ft).
The plot used to be a meadow; the topsoil was present and has been spread out.
Now various weeds are growing...
What is the proper way to proceed? How can I remove the weeds before laying the lawn? Please keep in mind the large area...
I would be very grateful for detailed tips and tools!
Thank you! Good luck

I first mowed nearly 1,300 m² (14,000 sq ft) of area at the lowest mower setting (the weeds), then used a borrowed rototiller to dig everything up. After that, as usual, rake smooth and reseed. Exactly like that! A professional landscaper wouldn’t do it any other way. However, the rototiller shouldn’t be a toy but a proper adult machine! Otherwise, you’ll be thinking about this task forever.

Hello Krischaaan
How does the builder do it? Spray Round Up, wait a week, then plow and sow.
StevenThis method also involves digging over the soil. He won’t avoid that, but he categorically rules it out for the larger 400–500m² (4,300–5,400 ft²) areas.
If digging over the soil is too exhausting, you could hire a landscaping contractor.
How long does digging over usually take? I have a similar area, unfortunately with clayey soil, already tilled, and I’m currently letting a green manure cover crop grow. It’s like weeds and will need to be dug over as well...
