New turf lawn
Looking to turf this area after some building work. Have raked it 3 separate times as it is really stoney. A couple of big stones remain which I'm doubtful I can get out - may be visible on one picture. Am intending adding topsoil, try to level it as best I can and then a few days later lay the turf in a brickwork style. Does that sound about right?

It's such a small area (from what we can see) so have you considered an alternative ground cover? Would save the mowing.
,etc. Welcome any suggestions
In the longer term, I think low, evergreen ground cover, perhaps underplanted with lots of spring bulbs, would be nicer and far lower maintenance. Ground cover plants are diverse and there will be many that fit the bill depending upon your taste and the aspect, sun/shade, of the area.
If not I like blameitonthedog's idea of evergreen ground cover, underplanted with bulbs.
A collection of mossy saxifrages would look good. A mass of crocus bulbs would be very pretty in the spring and the leaves aren't too tatty as they die back.
