Our front lawn had a flower bed with a low brick retaining wall. The wall was built directly on the soil with no foundation. The wall was removed, the lawn was rotovated to the depth of the tines, raked over and relaid with new turf. The line of the wall has reappeared in the lawn and grass will not grow on this area. How do we remove the line

i think you will have to remove the soil in that line and replace it with new topsoil as i think the lime must of leaked into it from the cement wall im afraid . you could probably seed it so it shouldnt be to hard .

You need to dig out that area with a proper garden fork/spade, deeper than the rotovator went - there may well be debris or rubble compacted underneath, and it needs to be removed, the soil refreshed and levelled and new grass laid.

I note this is the second time you've asked this question - it seems my answer is the same as the ones previously given, so I think you might have to accept that's what you have to do, there are no magic, easy solutions, sorry.
