Turfing



The best times to lay turf are between March-June and September-November. Prior to the selected turfing contractor doing the job have a good look at the area in which the turf will be situated. When planning where to lay the turf try and leave a border near fences and walls as it is hard to cut there.
Turf
Start by laying the first turf down the longest straight edge. Butt and fold the neighboring turf next to it knowing that there will be some shrinkage and if you try and stretch the turfing at this stage you will end up with some gaps when it is bedded in. The turf should be firmly but carefully tapped down using the back of a spade to ensure that the roots and the soil are in good contact.
