Good video , I am about to commence something similar and was wondering after you have cultivated and levelled the existing soil to what depth do you add the new topsoil to bed your turf on . I am assuming it’s shallow enough to not require any compacting !

? After killing off a lawn, would a turf cutter remove the sod so it can be rolled up or does it sometimes just break up, I sprayed off my lawn 3 weeks ago and put a scarifier through it today, one pass, I can now see how uneven it is and I’m considering removing with a turf cutter, advice would be greatly appreciated
