FAQ's

Do I need high quality soil for fresh turf?

High quality soil provides a good foundation for your fresh turf and ensures that it will grow healthy and strong. It also helps retain moisture and nutrients for your grass.

Does new turf need to combine with the underlying soil?

New turf needs to bond with the underlying soil to establish a strong root system and prevent drying out. To achieve this, you need to prepare the soil before laying the turf by removing any weeds, stones, or debris, and raking it to create a smooth and even surface. You also need to water the soil thoroughly before laying the turf.

How long does it take to grow fresh grass?

It depends on several factors, such as the type of grass, the season, the weather, and the maintenance. Generally, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for fresh grass to start growing and about 6 to 8 weeks for it to fully establish. During this time, you need to water your lawn regularly and avoid walking on it as much as possible.

Will my turf stay green?

Yes, it will, if you take good care of it. Turf is a living product that needs regular watering, mowing, feeding, and weeding to stay green and healthy. You also need to protect it from pests and diseases that can damage it.

How much does turf help with rain drainage?

Turf can help with rain drainage by absorbing excess water and preventing soil erosion. Turf also acts as a natural filter that reduces runoff pollution and improves water quality. However, turf alone cannot solve drainage problems if the soil is compacted or poorly drained. In that case, you may need to install a drainage system or improve the soil structure before laying the turf.

Do I need to wait to mow the lawn after it's fitted?

You should not mow your lawn until it is fully rooted and established. This usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks after laying the turf. Mowing too soon can damage the grass and prevent it from growing properly. When you mow your lawn for the first time, make sure you use a sharp blade and cut only one-third of the grass height.

Do I need to feed the lawn?

Feeding your lawn is essential for maintaining its health and appearance. Lawn feed provides nutrients that your grass needs to grow thick and green. You should feed your lawn at least twice a year: once in spring and once in autumn.

Can I walk on newly laid turf?

Walking on newly laid turf can damage the grass and prevent it from rooting properly. You should avoid walking on your lawn as much as possible until it is fully established. This usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks after laying the turf. If you need to walk on your lawn for any reason, use boards or planks to spread your weight and avoid creating footprints.

How long does it take to lay fresh lawn?

It depends on the size and shape of your lawn area, but generally, it takes about a day to lay fresh lawn.

What size are the vehicles delivering the turf?

Our vehicles are standard-sized lorries that can fit most driveways and access roads. However, if you have any concerns about the access or delivery of your turf order, please let us know in advance so we can arrange a suitable solution. We can also deliver your turf on pallets or rolls depending on your preference.

Is there a preferred time of year to lay new lawn?

You can lay new lawn at any time of year as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. However, the best time of year to lay new lawn is in spring or autumn when the weather is mild and moist. This allows your turf to root quickly and establish well before summer or winter.

How can I prevent weeds growing in my lawn?

The best way to prevent weeds is to maintain a healthy and dense lawn that can outcompete them for space, water and nutrients. This means mowing regularly at the right height, watering deeply and infrequently, fertilising appropriately and aerating the soil to improve drainage and root growth. If you do spot any weeds, you can remove them by hand or use a selective herbicide that targets only the weed and not the grass.
