Ground preparation is vital to the future of your new lawn. Unprepared ground will never give satisfactory results. Existing turf should be moved by cutting under with a spade, then rotovate or turn soil over to a depth of 15cm (6 inches). Ensure the area is free of any debris, stones, weeds or old turf. Rake and tread the surface to produce a firm level bed. Feed prior to turfing with a general fertilizer, raking into the fine tilth.
