If your existing lawn was healthy, why did the landscaper not just strip the old lawn, rotovate your soil and level. Possibly screed an inch of rootzone over the top and then relay new turf.

It sounds like their extravigant plan was probably a good way of talking you out of a small fortune.

i have to agree with this, i would never lay turf on sand, it drains to quickly so even though you are watering the lawn the sand will take the water away from the fresh roots almost as quick as you are putting it down
