Can I lay zoyzia sod on top of Bermuda grass if I mow it real short and put 2 to 3 inches of top soil on top of the Bermuda?
I am not sure of the 'official' answer, but we put zoysia down in our backyard over the top of an established burmuda grass and it has done very well... we first ran a rototiller over the top of the burmuda and took out the 'clumps' of burmuda grass that this created... smoothed it with a rake and then laid the zoysia sod on top... it now looks great.... hope this helps...

Can you put a top soil on lawn and lay another lawn?
Yes you can but the job is never satisfactory. You are better to kill off the existing sod and cultivate the ground rake it out level firm it and lay your turf, that is if you want a half decent job. Make sure that if you use a chemical to kill the existing sod that it will not affect the new grass that you replant. Possibly easier in the long run to dig up the existing sod and throw it away as you are cultivating the ground. Sod needs good root to soil contact so the roots have something to grow into. If layed on top of other vegetation the roots have nothing to take a hold in. A better way to remove the existing vegetation is to rent a sod cutter and compost the material removed. In a year or two it will be great for your garden or other compost needs. The sod cutter also leaves the ground almost perfectly flat to lay sod on.

If I have sod down can i put sod on top of sod to build it up?
Of course you can. In the long run, top sod layer will grow stronger, greener, deeper and more drought resistant since the underlying sod layer will slowly decompose and provide nutrients and a deeper layer of fertile top soil for the new sod on top. You could say the top sod layer will be organic grass. Sod is often placed on poor soil ( heavy clays, subsoil etc.) often compacted by construction vehicles such as landscaping bulldozer, dump truck, etc. driven around the building site, to quickly turn ugly surface into immediate short-term beauty. But the sod is usually too thin and may very well yellow in time.
