If you're going to start this season and grow right away, you should take up your grass and pile it up somewhere, dont try to till it back in. Let it compost instead. Then I'd dig down about a spade depth and turn the soil over and remove stones. Check out how well the soil holds together when you squeeze it. It should squeeze together, but fall apart easily when you poke it. You could probably check with a garden center pretty easily, or just use that simple trick. Then set up your raised bed walls and bring the soil up to the top with local compost/garden soil and you should be able to plant immediately.
