new garden - what to do?

[s]

Moved into a new house last autumn. Back garden was a mess, so figured I'd tackle it in the Spring.
Well...it's Spring!
Would rotavating the garden be a good start? It is a new build and their are lots of weeds and big stones and we even found building site 'junk'.

I figure, rotavate it, clear it out, go to garden centre for planting/patio advice.

Is this a good plan?

You may find something useful in the

BTW its nothing unusual for your garden to have builder's rubble. We're the last house on our road and they used our side garden to mix/dump for the road. We eventually got someone to do the garden for us and it 10 men to sort out front/back!
