A. "He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail..." Get rid of any
sand/cement, dig, rake and level the soil until it feel s and looks
good.

B. Did someone selling turf tell you that?

C. Late Autumn is ideal. The soil is warm and moist - just don't
leave it unti ltoo late in november when the temp drops. We sowed a
new lawn last October, and it's beautiful now. Watch the farmers -
when they drill their winter crops, that's about the right time.

Hope this helps
