The first step to turfing a garden is to clear the ground. Depending on what is down if you have an existing lawn down. Hiring a turf cutter to lift your existing lawn would be a good way to get started.
The best way of getting a good level on a garden is to rotavate or break up using a pick.Then rake a good level you should always use a good topsoil to go over existing soil this will help with the growth of your new turf and also will help with gettin a better level. After all the previous stages have been done the next step is what turf to choose all turf will be layed the same way contact your local turf supplier and tell him what your lawn will be used for kids or not for using it much. They will advise you on which grade is best for your use.
This is the stage the turf will be layed first rake a good level this is cruical as this is were you will get your level on your lawn there is two ways of laying turf we will go through both and you can choose which one suits you better. The first is unroll the first roll then butt up the second roll to the end of the first roll using your fingers repeat this process till you reach the end then get a flat rake and tamper down any bumps that may be there when starting a new row cut a roll in half to stagger each row. The second way of laying turf is to do exactly the same as the above but when you lay youre second row you can lay a plank of wood over your first row then lay your second row then with each row you move youre plank so that you dont stand on the lawn. By using planks of wood this will remove bumps and help leveling your lawn.
when a lawn is layed you should wait between 4-6 weeks before walkin on it. This will give it time to sow together after this you will be able to cut it but try to cut it a bit high then the next time drop youre blades and cut it lower.This was writen by john from j&l landscapes liverpool if you want any advice on laying a lawn you can go to our website at www.jllandscapes.info
