my lawn is riddled with moss and needs returfing. i was going to have
the existing turf lifted and then new turf put on. some blokes had a
look and said the best thing to do is leave the existing turf/moss on
and cover it with 2" of sand and then put the new turf on top of that.
they say it will kill the moss underneath and the new turf will root
into the sand. they also say its the wet ground causing the moss and
the sand will soak it up and stop moss reoccurring. i appreciate it
would also be a much easier job for them though i wonder if it will
work and is this the right approach. is this right or is it a con,
advice appreciated thankyou

no you will have problems by doing that either apply a mosskiller or iron
after spiking then after a week scarify removing the dead moss and overseed
with some top dressing.
Or rip the whole lot up dig over level and lay turf.
