Re: new lawn preparation
Hi @Findon1,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
If you wanted a small step down from your pavers, you could remove some material, but the level right now is near perfect for your new lawn to sit level with the pavers.
A turf slab is usually around 50mm thick, and you'll want around 100mm of topsoil making the current height of the soil ideal for the additional thickness of materials.
Check out How To Lay Turf for some further guidance.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
