Moved into my new home back in October and have did absolutely nothing with the front and back gardens. Don't even know where to start
.
This is how the front garden sits at present:

I would like it to look like my neighbours because it really ruins the look of the house. I would like to tackle the font first, should I dig out the weeds then hit with roundup or something similar? Is a rotavator a must to get the top soil right for grass seeds?
There are lot of loose stones in the front and back garden should I try to get rid of as much of these as possible?
Here is the back garden:

As you can see again my neighbours garden looks quite well. All I want to do for now is tidy both gardens up and put down some good quality grass seeds. Want to get it sorted asap for the my 2 kids so any suggestions/help greatly appreciated
