    Crumbly Top Soil To Cover Lawn Seed?

    As above for a new lawn ^ If you're over seeding then a nice crumbly top soil will be just fine. Once covered use a rake to even up any coverage where necessary.

    personally I'd give it a year, more if you are not in a rush. (Provided you didn't use selective weedkiller on it in the last year)

    Poor quality lawn

    The rubble might be from previous buildings I guess. Our last house built in the 1930s, I found a crazy paved path a couple of inches under the lawn that had just been grown over.
