Turfing

Turfing is a great option if you’re looking for an instant, lush green lawn. Unlike seeding, which can take months to fully grow, turf provides immediate results. It also helps with soil erosion, improves the aesthetics of your yard, and is easy to maintain once established. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance your outdoor space quickly.

Once installed, your turf typically needs 2-3 weeks to establish its roots in the soil. During this time, it’s essential to water it regularly, ensuring the roots are taking hold. Minimising foot traffic during this initial phase will allow the grass to settle in smoothly, and within weeks, your lawn will be lush and green.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for laying turf, as the temperatures are mild and there is plenty of moisture in the air. Turf grows best in these conditions, giving the grass enough time to establish strong roots before extreme heat or frost. Avoid laying turf during the peak summer or winter months.

After installation, water your turf regularly, especially in the first few weeks, to promote healthy root development. Avoid heavy foot traffic during this initial period to prevent disrupting the roots. Once established, mow the grass regularly and ensure it’s getting enough water. With a little care, your turf will thrive and require minimal maintenance.
