Loam is very good for new turf, if you decide to lay on what you have it needs to be stone free

Topsoil is just soil that is has been screened so it doesn't contain loads of stones etc and is finer it doesn't have nay extra goodness compared to the soil you have. You can need to make sure it is pretty stone free and level.
