Default Flipping over turf

I want to re-do my lawn completely. Most recommendations are for the
old turf to be removed completely but I want to consider an
alternative approach and I would welcome your views.

My idea is to hire a turf cutter to cut the turf and then flip the
turf completely over. Then the plan is to spread about 2 inches of
top soil on top and then sow grass seed with a little fertiliser.

One reason for doing this is to save carrying lots of turf and hiring
a skip. I also want to raise the overall level of the lawn.

Is this plan feasible or just potty?


You think that you have problems?
I'm having a battle to the death with the bloody Dandelions in my front
garden.

Mr Hogg will be along eventually to help you.
Take note of what he says.
