After
Watering
The establishment of turf is severely affected by insufficient watering at installation. Water your turf immediately it is laid. During dry conditions water the laid area as soon as possible whilst your project is being completed. Without water the new root system WILL NOT establish quickly and consequently your turf will not be given the immediate opportunity to root into its new environment. In the summer, turf may need saturating immediately after laying and maintained wet for several weeks until fully established. The purchase of a low cost sprinkler system can be a good investment in very dry conditions.
Mowing
Turf will need moving regularly between 15-35mm in height depending on the season and growing conditions, with clippings removed as often as possible. We advise that newly laid turfs are not mown until rooting has taken place. Only remove a maximum of 25% of any growth during establishment. DO NOT SCALP YOUR NEWLY LAID TURF. This encourages fungal and weed infestations and may severely stress the grass in dry conditions.
