Planning and preparation
How much preparation does new turf need?
That depends on the existing grass, soil, rubble, levels and drainage. A visit should establish what is included.
How long before a new lawn can be used?
Allow it to root before regular traffic. Follow the turf supplier or installer guidance for watering and first mowing.
Can turf be laid in summer?
It can be possible, but warm and dry conditions increase watering demands. Avoid frozen, waterlogged or unsuitable ground.
Should I choose turf or seed?
Turf gives a quicker visible surface; seed takes longer to establish. Consider area, timing, use and aftercare.
Service area
When should an old lawn be replaced?
Replacement may make sense when damage is widespread or the ground needs rebuilding. A patchy lawn may be repairable if the underlying cause can be addressed.
