Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of having my garden made over, at the moment I have
two adjascent lawns one of which is about 12" higher than the other. The
gardener is removing and returfing the higher one, but he is not
removing the grass from the lower lawn just returfing over it. *Is this
the usual practise, I thought old grass had to be removed because it is
covered moss and other weeds.

I hope someone can help me with this matter

I'm not entirely sure but I think thats what might be needed to be
done to even them out.

Depends on what you mean by "returfing". If that means he's using
sod, then you can't lay sod over existing grass. If he's growing it
from seed, you can use a slit seeder machine to either overseed an
existing lawn or kill it with roundup and reseed without tilling.
