Explanation:
Kiwipedia has :
Gazon de plaquage Roll turf, turf [BS 130 3009]; turf tiles

Not sure if your déplaqueuse is cutting new turf for replacement of old, or removing the old, however.

Well, that was approximate.

Probably the quickest way to replace it is to use roll turf. ... a flat spade should be adequate, for larger areas, consider hiring a SOD CUTTER MACHINE ...

The Husqvarna déplaqueuse is a "sod cutter" :

Or "turf harvester" to use the term above.
