    Hi,

    Moved into our new house and looking for advice on what to do with the lawn. We have concrete slabs down at the moment to the right of the lawn but the grass is below this at ground level. I would ideally like to bring lawn up to height of the concrete slabs (probably no more than 1 1/2" so that the edge is no longer a danger to my kids cracking their skull open.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    If it's only 1 or 2 inches I'd just dig up the sod, put in some top soil and then place the sod back on top. Water well then
