Rough grade and level the area, and then string a plumb line across the yard as close to the soil as possible. Re-grade to level the soil parallel to the plumb line. Re-string the plum line perpendicular to the first line across the yard and repeat the process. If you have a large yard and/or need drainage in the turf area, make sure you have provided some grading to encourage water to move toward the drains. Good Luck! IP: Logged
