When all that is done, you then spend the whole of summer watering the new lawn, until it's grown some. One of those lawn sprinklers would be useful to have.
I watched my neighbour doing the above with the help of a friend of his, and it would put me off doing same. He even went and got himself a large sprinkler and managed to get our fencing wet too. But he did end up with a lovely new garden.
I'd rather have concrete as it's much easier to keep.
