I rented a 1.6t mini digger with the end goal to make a somewhat level lawn from a previously uneaven area with hedge stumps and tree stumps in many places.
I ripped up the high parts and pushed the soil towards the end.
The main area is 80ft X 50ft and the section in front of the hedge on the left is probably 20ft X 40ft.
I need some advice, I just jumped head in at the opportunity to get started. I have some ideas but really need some next steps and cost savings.
I have access to a tiler/rotovator (can't find what's the right name).
The whole area is not perfectly level, it probably has like a 10-20° maybe a little more downwards and I also created some high spots where I moved the dirt around.
I need to mention the upper lawn at the bottom of the photo is 3-4ft higher than the other section.
I am also thinking about drainage and what's the best way to go about it.

I think someone, not gonna say who, had big fun in the big dirt toy.
Here to see what others recommend.
I would smooth it out a bit so you can see what happens with drainage off that area when it rains and plan accordingly, where do you want what, make a map, get some sod or whatever and just take time to plan your layout. Run it by a pro. Looks good considering all the stumps and garbage you got out of there now you can use that space and incorporate it into the whole yard.
I would plant cool plants
