Grass growing after decking removal
My family and I moved into a new house recently. There is old decking at the end of the garden and we’d prefer to have an all grass garden. If we have the old decking removed, is there any chance that grass will grow again there? My partner and I asked the previous owners and they said the decking has been there since the early 2000s. Or we will have to install artificial grass instead?

Advice on using a rotavator and roller
I have a light-duty garden rotavator which I am planning to put to use on my lawn sometime in the spring, maybe February or March, depending on what the weather is like. I’m also thinking of buying a lawn roller at some stage. Should I wait a certain period of time between using a rotavator and lawn roller in my garden? Also, should I consider using a roller before rotavating instead?
Can you have different coloured grass?
Can you dye the grass in your garden a different colour? Is this safe and is it even legal? I was thinking of creating an alien-look back garden with maybe blue glass (blue neon would be sensational if possible) and adding fake alien-looking plants throughout to create a unique garden environment.
