Level and rake the surface. I would spread an inch or two of topsoil and loosely level out with a rake. Lay your turf making sure that they have a good bond. Use a shovel to tamp turf and water it in. Make sure it is well waterd until it begins to take. Avoid walking on it for a week or two.

Answer 3

The hardest part is preparing the ground and best if you take time and care over this part of the job. Dig and roll the ground ensuring it is level and firm. Lay the turf like a carpet rolling it frequently. If you don't have access to a roller us a cylinder mower tipped up. Don't for get to water in dry weather until the lawn is established.
