Any advice on laying turf on a newly dug patch?


Years ago I watched a huge area of a company car park being turfed.
The whole lot was first turned over and leveled up with sand (don't
know what sort it was) and then on the following day a layer of soil
was raked into the sand. Then the turf was rolled out. The operation
was done by machines until the last hour or so when the men doing the
job walked the area pushing the turf to close any gaps. They left the
water sprinklers running for the next 24 hours. The result was an
immaculate lawn. A few years later the lawn was dug up and replaced by
a row of flats with car parking areas!
