Returfing garden
Hi everyone
We have hired a landscaper to returf our garden. he has just taken up part of the old lawn, in patches and strips, but almost 50% remains. I queried it with him, as I expected all the old turf to be removed. He said it will be done to a high standard, but didn't confirm that all the old lawn will be removed. I suspect he may be planning to rotavate it in, to save time. Is this acceptable?
I have added a photo of part of the lawn where turf cutting has taken place. It looks a very poor job.

I got this landscaper through good reviews on the net, and on facebook.
We said we wanted a good job, as the previous job was a bodge job and developed dips and hollows and that's why we are doing this again. In his written quote he says the old lawn will be removed and taken away. We are paying thousands for this work but we want it done properly so we don't have to repeat a third time.
Thanks for the tips and advice.
