Indeed. Theoretically @Quincy may not even need to remove the existing turf completely; instead, he could just tear it all up into chunks (as small as possible) with a spade and garden fork, rake it approximately flat and keep repeating this process until the autumn. Would probably avoid having to buy any topsoil, but breaking down the existing turf will be harder work than breaking down bare earth.
