A step by step guide to lay your greener lawn!

 

Begin laying your new lawn to be turfed, against pathways, garden edges, etc. forming a border. Then continue by laying across any slopes you may have, trimming excess turf at the border along the outside, with a knife or spade.

Your turf should be layed in a brick pattern for a neater finish. Butt and push ends together tightly without stretching.On a large lawn it is best to complete a small section by rolling turf as you go.

Rolling your lawn after laying can be an advantage as it will give your turf more even contact with the soil.A roller can be hired from your local hire store.

Give your lawn at least 25 mm of water within 30 minutes of installation. (Depending on weather conditions), keeping turf moist, until it is firmly rooted. Be sure your new lawn has enough moisture to survive hot dry or windy conditions.

Check turf by carefully lifting in areas, and checking for moisture and new roots. Once turf cannot be lifted, watering can be spaced to once or twice a week (depending on weather conditions).

Keep off your new lawn for the first four weeks to avoid damage.
