Have you priced turf? I was on a very
tight budget but decided on turf. Goes down quick and it stops the
weeds coming up - my soil was mostly couch grass and the dreaded
ground elder.

If you are using turf I should try to do it at a rainy time - I put it down
2 years ago in spring and it was very dry for weeks.

I watched the turf shrink and curl up, in spite of watering like crazy, and
it was also very cold, so getting out each evening bundled up against a
wind from Siberia with a hosepipe was rather unpleasant, and I expected to
be put in a soft cell.

You shouldn't be so unlucky, but a glance at long range forecasts may be
helpful
