    But now that you have done much of the work yourself, the slabs will have some value if they are in good nick.
    Just cleaning these up with a view to selling hopefully. Don’t know much about slabs but they measure 445 x 445 x 35mm.

    Been busy cutting down a tree so haven't done any more with the lawn. I think it's a good time to do it now though.
    I'll probably get a ton bag of topsoil 
    to take the level up in places then put down some grass seed.

    You just chuck the seed that arrives in the post on - five minute job while the tea is brewing. 
    No special seeder needed? Thought it may need to go below the surface.
    Have got a ton bag of good quality topsoil and will probably get the seed in the link.

    Divide your seed into five portions and start from one corner going to opposing corner, do this from four corners and the fifth portion use to go round the edges followed by a light rake in.
