You will need the following tools to level a site:
Where levelling is required to a depth of more than 5cm (2ins), remove the top soil from the area to be levelled and store it temporarily elsewhere in the garden.
With the top soil removed, roughly estimate which areas are peaks and which are troughs. Gradually move the peaks of soil into the troughs using a spade. When this is done, and the level is roughly correct, replace the top-soil. Allow the soil to settle for a week or so.
Finally, to ensure the surface is as level as possible, use the pegs, board and spirit level over areas of 4 metres (12 foot) square as shown in the diagram below. Add or remove soil from between the pegs until the soil surface is level with the painted line on each peg. Placing the spirit level on top of the board will ensure that that the top of the pegs is level.
