New Lawn

Hello everybody,
I am a complete beginner and would really appreciate some advice.
I have recently bought a property with a garden which needs quite a lot
of work. The back garden had a thin strip of lawn with a jungle of
shrubs, trees and plants on the one side and a large concrete path on
the other. At the end of last summer I attacked the shrubs and reduced
their depth from about 2 metres to just under one and last weekend I
broke up the concrete path. The plan is to expand the lawn so that I
have a large lawn in the centre with two small flowerbeds running on
each edge.
I haven't got a lot of money to spare and don't think that I can afford
to buy a whole load of turf. My problem is the following. I have one
side of the garden (where the shrubs were) which is a flowebed. This
is raised slightly above the level of the lawn and is currently full of
roots and weeds etc. The other side (the old concrete path) is on a
lower level from the lawn ranging from 2-12 inches and is made up of
sand and topsoil. I would like to have a nice lawn by the summer.
Any ideas on how to achieve this in the most cost efficient way?
Thanks
