Im not a turf laying expert but my dad layed some last week and he had some spare turf that he layed on some sand as he said the roots wont grow into sand. He layed is on soil and used fertiliser before he layed the turf and it is looking quite nice.
The sand will help improve the soil so can be rotovated in. However are you sure there is no hardcore under the lot? You would also need to make sure you know if there is any decent soil below it before rotovating it all. A few test holes may be needed.
it depends on the sand
i have layed turf on sand rootzone before and i'm about to lay turf on lv20 next week, as long as its watered it'll grown into the right type of sand
