    Google turf suppliers or take photos and HiPages. Bobcat or hand remove all turf, Re-shape and re-lay. $15m2 PLUS...depends on soil, turf type etc. If landscaping and retaining is need its extra. IMO watch grade and quality of soil AND turf.

    Hipages is about as useful as a watering your garden in the rain. Couldn't even get one person / company to give me a quote on a Colorbond fence recently.

    But definitely getting someone like a landscaper should be able to help with the lawn.

    I had a handful. Within 48hrs. March. If you seek this now you probably wont get far. Its "holiday time" in the world of landcape. I waited out last summer.

    There is a whole industry of turf installers who are a lesser form of landscaper who do jobs for turf farms and even sub to landscapers. Landscapers may be more inclined to take on $20K + jobs and hard features / plants etc where a turf installer may clear old grass, reshape & levels and lay topsoil and new turf. Your local turf farms or large(wholesale and trade) landscape supply stores etc may be a good source. Another benefit is they will get fresh cut turf not through a supplier so its cut that very same day. Now probably isnt best time to lay new turf as heat of summer is just commencing.
