Turfing Questions
How do you prepare the ground for laying turf?
- Clear away any plants, weeds and debris.
- Dig or rotovate soil to a depth of at least 15cm.
- Improve soil texture or quality if necessary.
- Level the area.
- Firm the soil.
- Add pre-turfing fertiliser.
- Rake and level again.
- Lay your turf.
When is it best to lay new turf?
Turf can be laid any time of year except on frozen ground. Ideal times to lay turf are in early-mid autumn and early spring, when the ground is relatively warm – which will promote new root growth.
How long after laying turf can I walk on it?
The most important things you can do to newly laid turf are to keep it regularly watered, avoid walking on the turf for at least three weeks, and allow the turf to bed in for a few more weeks before mowing it.
Should I water new turf immediately?
It is important to water your turf as soon as it is laid, to help the grass recover from being rolled and ensure that the roots bed into the soil. As the new root system develops, the watering needs of the grass will change.
What time of the day should I water turf?
Watering in the morning is the best time for your lawn. It’s cooler, and winds tend to be gentler so water can soak into the soil and be absorbed by the grass roots before it can evaporate.
Artificial Grass Questions
What type of artificial grass is suitable for my needs?
Longer grasses, around 30mm mark, will give a lush, luxurious look, whereas shorter, 16-27mm products will look neater, and make for great artificial grass for dogs, pets, or kids.
Good quality artificial grass should be weighty, with a weight of 2-3kg per metre square.
How long does artificial grass last for?
With average use and maintenance, you can expect to enjoy your synthetic grass for at least 20 years, a worthwhile investment that essentially pays for itself in half that time.
As with most landscaping projects, though, the more care you give to your artificial lawn, the longer its lifespan will be.
Can weeds grow through artificial grass?
Although artificial grass has a higher resistance to weeds than natural turf, it’s still possible for weeds to grow around the edges or infrequently through small holes in the backing. Weeds can also grow through the infill, depending on the type of infill that has been used during the installation.
That is why we take extra care when laying your grass – you keep the neat and tidy look for much longer, saving you years of additional maintenance.
Can my garden flood if I have artificial turf?
Not with our premium quality artificial grass. All of our modern turf is completely water permeable. This means that the turf’s intuitive design allows rainwater to flow down the blades and seep through holes located under the turf. Teams with natural grass may see potholes develop after heavy rainstorms.
Why do you sprinkle sand on artificial grass?
The sand provides stability and protects the turf. As a result, no wrinkles or folds develop throughout it’s use. The sand also surrounds the long blades of artificial grass and ensures that they remain upright.
