Laying Turf

Turf is the quickest way to establish a lawn. The grass is alive, with the majority of its root system severed. The turf grass requires water after laying. The watering should be frequent and light and gradually becoming deeper and less frequent. This should take approximately 6 weeks in the growing season, promoting a developed root system.

The area where the turf grass is to be placed needs to prepared, for example :

·      Soil  pH analysis and adjustment to 6.5

·      organic and inorganic fertiliser application

·      surface consolidation (firmness of the soil, not compacted)

·      shaping topsoil for surface drainage

Fig 2. Displays the area to be grassed. It has been shaped, consolidated and fertilised. The turf is starting to be laid in a stretcher bond pattern.
