any
idea on the cost of soil from a sand and gravel merchant? (i know i could
phone them monday but it`s saturday evening at the mo

You might very well find that your present base of sand is quite
suitable, without adding top-soil. Just do a test to ensure there is soil
at least about 2" under the sand. Seed or turfs should do equally well.
This is the correct time of the year.
Just rake the sand to an even, level, finish.
