Lay The Turf

Every industry is in possession of experts with conflicting views. Some gardeners like to stagger turf, others work up-and-down, creating a stripy effect. However, let our true north be efficiency and professionalism.  Begin by identifying a straight line from which to work. If the garden’s perimeter isn’t sufficient, use a plank and lay your turf along edge.  

Laying turf needn’t be a 2 man job, but it helps. Have a friend or co-worker position the turf in position, at the ready for you to unfurl the rolls. As you do so ensure turves are tightly tucked into together. Finally, re-enforce your hard work by applying planks. 

Turf After Care

Turf is bound to the earth by roots and laterally by rhizomes. For nature to occur, you’ll need to step back and apply ample water. Use a sprinkler system for a minimum of an hour a day. Gaps or discolouration are signatures of dehydration. Whether you have curious toddlers or pets we recommend no footfall for up to 7 days. Contact us for more information on our service.
