New turf on old

 
I laid meadow grass as a quick and dirty solution last year but now want
to
replace the area (36sqm) with good quality turf and also build up the
area by
around 2".  I ideally want to lay straight on top of the old
turf to avoid
having to build up too much.

Whats the best way of doing this bearing in mind I have kids who wont
be happy
if the lawn is out of action for a ling period !!!

thanks in advance

I would:
 * Spray with a short-lived general herbicide like RoundUp
 * Wait a few days for the grass to die
 * Amend the soil as needed (take samples to a local nurseryman)
 * Add a little soil if you need
 * Rototill
 * Rake smooth
 * Apply sod
