If you've made the decision to add a new lawn to your garden, first of all, great choice! Lawns are a fantastic addition to any outdoor space, bringing a range of benefits for both you and the surrounding environment. However, now that you've decided on adding a lawn, the next big decision to make is how are you going to lay it?
