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 do not know the answer to your question but I do wonder if it is necessary to have both lawns on the same level? If that is not necessary then then you could have a small slope which, if not more than 27 degrees, it can still be mown.
Moss and weeds can be eliminated with a dose of a specialist fertiliser cum weed-killer. If you then put in an automatic lawnmowing system you will not have to fertilise the lawn again as these robots cut off such small amounts of grass that they fall onto the lawn and provide nutrients. They would cope with the slope too.
It seems a lot of work they way your gardener is going about it.
