Default Advice please.

I have an area of garden that has been covered in bark chips. I now wish
to level and raise it slightly with a layer of top soil prior to seeding
as a lawn.

Will it be OK to cover the bark chippings?

Advice please?


Several choices...

Rake them all off and prepare for seed with sand/soil mix after sorting
proper drainage.
or
Cover them with a healthy thickness of soil and rake level then seed.
or
Cover with woven polypropylene, soil/sand mix then seed
or
Douse liberally with paraffin/diesel mix and set fire to...


Ok.....I was kidding about the last one ;-)
