Was planning on laying a new lawn in my garden in the Spring.
Would it be possible to lay the new turf on top of the existing turf?
I wondered if the new turf would 'knit' with the existing grass or would it be best to dig up the old one?
Thanks for your advise.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.andy is right, you can indeed lay a new lawn over an exisiting one.
but its also true that the new lawn will inherit any problems that your old one may have had. i.e. if you had moss in the lawn because of poor drainage or overhanging shade then your new lawn will soon do to. if you do have problems then you need to remedy these first, i.e. install drainage etc.
and any new lawn, no-matter how expensive the turf was will only stay looking good with regular maintainence and hard work.
