The document provides instructions for laying turf in 4 steps: 1) Prepare the ground by removing old turf and aerating the soil. 2) Level the soil surface and add topsoil if needed. 3) Measure the area and calculate how many turf rolls are required. 4) Lay the turf rolls from one end to the other, staggering the joints, and cut rolls as needed. Water daily for the first 10 days and avoid walking on the new lawn for a couple weeks.

to
Lay
Turf
Here
is
our
quick
turf
laying
guide…
It

is
easy!

3. Step
One
Preparing
the
ground,
you
will
need
to
remove
any
old
turf
(if
present)
do
this
by
digging
it
off
or
hire
a
turf
cuCer
to
remove
the
old
turf.

4. Step
Two
Once
you
have
removed
the
turf
you
will
need
to
dig
over
the
soil
to
break
it
up
&
aerate
it.
Dig
the
topsoil
over
to
a
depth
of
about
4
to
6
inches.

5. Step
Three
Now
you
need
to
rake
out
any
lumps
&
bumps
to
create
a
nice
level
surface.
Add
fresh
topsoil
or
soil
improver
if
the
soil
is
poor
or
if
levels
need
raising.
When
you
have
finished
raking
&
levelling
you
should
firm
up
the
area
by
either
rolling
lightly
or
walking
all
over
the
area
and
then
give
it
a
final
rake.
(you
should
just
leave
a
slight
indentaLon
in
the
topsoil
when
you
walk
on
it
(say
1cm
depth).

6. Step
Four
Now
your
ready
to
order
your
turf,
measure
the
area
you
wish
to
turf
in
meters
and
calculate
the
area
in
square
meters
(m2)
or
use
a
turf
calculator
hCp://www.turfgrowers.co.uk/turf-­‐calculator)
to
work
out
how
many
rolls
of
turf
you
need.

7. Laying
the
Turf
Lay
your
turf
within
24h
hours
of
delivery.
Start
at
the
far
end
of
the
area
you
wish
to
cover
and
roll
out
the
turf
rolls
end
to
end
(work
in
straight
lines),
give
the
area
you
are
working
on
a
quick
rake
to
level
it
out
before
you
lay
each
roll.
Remember
to
stagger
the
joints
like
brick
work.
“If
you
need
to
make
cuts
use
an
old
knife
or
a
good
spade
or
turf
edger
to
cut
the
rolls
to
shape”
www.turfgrowers.co.uk

8. Now
give
your
new
lawn
a
good
soaking
and
water
it
daily
for
the
first
10
days.
Try
to
keep
off
the
lawn
for
the
first
couple
of
weeks,
give
it
its
first
light
mow
when
it
gets
to
about
3
to
4
inches
long.
Enjoy
your
new
lawn!
