Laying turf is a great option if you want a lawn quickly. Turf is purchased by the roll, is rooted and growing in a thin layer of soil, and can be easier to lay than you’d think.
Mid-Autumn, when the soil is still warm from the summer but the weather is cool and wet, is the optimum time to lay the turf. As long as the ground isn’t frozen or waterlogged, it can be laid at any time of the year.
It only takes a short while to lay the turf, it is worthwhile to spend time getting your soil ready first. If it’s feasible, allow yourself a few weeks to get the ground prepared before laying the lawn.
You should start laying no later than 24 hours after taking delivery. Laying against one edge first, then working outward. Stagger the turf sections to resemble bricks. Make sure there are no gaps and that the lawn edges are tightly abutted. When finished, properly water the lawn.
