Spring is the perfect time to give your garden a fresh, green makeover. Laying turf might seem daunting, but with the right approach, it can transform your outdoor space in no time. This simple step-by-step guide will help you lay turf like a pro.

Step 1: Measure and Order the Turf

• Calculate Area: Measure the length and width of your lawn to determine how much turf you need.
• Order Fresh Turf: Order your turf and aim to get it delivered when you are ready - ideally as soon as you have completed Step 2

Step 2: Prepare the Ground

• Clear the Area: Remove any weeds, stones, or debris from the surface.
• Level the Soil: Use a rake to smooth out the soil, ensuring there are no dips or bumps.
• Add Topsoil: Spread a layer of quality topsoil to improve the turf's growth conditions.
• Compact the Soil: Lightly walk over the area or use a roller to compact the soil, creating a firm base.

Step 3: Lay the Turf

• Start at the Edge: Lay the first roll of turf along a straight edge.
• Unroll Carefully: Gently unroll the turf, ensuring there are no gaps or overlaps.
• Stagger the Seams: Arrange the next row so the seams are offset, similar to laying bricks.
• Trim the Edges: Use a sharp knife to cut and shape the turf around corners or obstacles.

 Step 4: Water and Maintain

• Water Immediately: Soak the turf thoroughly right after installation.
• Water Regularly: Keep the turf moist for the first few weeks as the roots establish.
• Avoid Foot Traffic: Minimise walking on the turf until it has fully rooted.
