Grass Turf in Hove

Turf will transplant well at any time of the year. The most popular time for turf is the Spring but turf is cut and sold for twelve months of the year.

In the Summer the ground tends to be drier and easier to prepare, but it is likely you will need to water your freshly laid turf regularly until the roots are established.

In Winter the ground is likely to be wetter and preparation is more awkward. It is likely that you will not need to water turf laid at this time.

As with most practical jobs, the key is in the preparation. When the time comes to lay your turf, the job is very simple if the preparation has been done well.

The way we recommend to lay turf is off of planks (scaffold planks or plywood boards), particularly if the soil is wet.

Lay a line of turf, put the plank on the turf, then lay the next line of turf by walking up and down the plank. When a line is complete, just roll the plank over and continue.

Of course we can make the task very simple by carrying out the new lawn installation for you! Call 01273 281052 for a quote.

It depends on conditions for growth. In good growing conditions, turf can take root in just a few days.

Even in the winter, your lawn will be rooting as root growth occurs at lower temperatures than top growth.

The turf soon knits together and the joins disappear fairly quickly. The weather and growing conditions at the time in Hove will affect how quickly this happens.
