    We recently got a new dog. With the wet weather and all the lawn is getting ruined, and with the dog skidding all over the ground while running around. He is pulling and grass out of the ground.

    Would roll on grass best the best to lay over the current grass?

    Unfortunately it's not as simple as laying on top of existing lawn.
    Like laying a patio or paving a proper job will need groundworks and proper installation and drainage.

    How much would it cost to someone in to that kind of work. A small lawn at the back. Be hard to keep the dogs off it.

    A number of factors need to be considered but assuming the ground condition is good, reasonably level, it might be possible to lay sod on top (better to kill off existing top layer first). But you're biggest challenge will be keeping the dogs off the grass during the critical 4-6 weeks. If this is not possible, the grass will not survive irrespective of what amount of groundworks engineering you undertake.

    Welcome to the real challenging world of pets and grass in small spaces :)

    Like the others said you can't just lay it down, there needs to be drainage underneath and astro is quite expensive, you will see a few grand go quick enough if you have a decent size garden.
