do I have to dig out my old grass???

Hi All

as you can see I'm new, so if I sound like I'm completly stupid then its cause I'm a novice!!

anyway I want to lay a new lawn as my old lawn is looking abit worn and is not level at all, id like to make it higher as well so can I just put top soil all over it with my old grass underneth and then lay new rolls of lawn over it or well I have problems??

thank you for your advice in advance

Hi, yellowt5r. If you don't mind, please check my response in [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12579]this thread[/url] as that poster asked the same question.

About making the lawn higher, I think it will depend on how high you want it. If only a couple or three inches, laying sod will do it automatically. If more than that, you'll want to heed [url=https://www.ladybug.uconn.edu/PUrchasingTopsoil.htm]this article[/url] on purchasing topsoil. But first, check my answer in the other thread.

Please tell me where you are located.
