Although I wouldn't normally think of arguing with andy, if the sod is furnished in the same condition as sod here in the U.S., your idea has a good chance of failure. Here, at least, the sod is cut by the sod farmer quite close in the root area. There's very little dirt attached to the exposed roots. The idea is that the installed sod has to have good contact with the earth underneath. This is one of the reasons that new sod must be watered well and often so the new root system will develop an penetrate the earth on which it lies. If you place the new sod over old grass the root system will not make contact sufficiently with the dirt. You could try, at least, running a rototiller (I think ya'll call it a rotovator?) over the old sod to bring up enough dirt to make the neccessary contact. In my humble opinion...
