subject: How to Lay a New Lawn [print this page] Turf can be laid all year round, yet the best time to lay your new lawn is during the autumn months. Turf will establish itself most quickly on soil that is warm and moist, the autumn rain and is therefore a great asset. Though, whichever season you choose to lay your lawn, the key to keeping it healthy and looking beautiful is in the care you provide in the days and months after it has been laid. With autumn being the best time for carrying out repairs and maintenance, the key to success in spring and summer is regular mowing. A general rule that applies throughout the year is keeping your lawn free of any leaves and debris and ensuring drainage is good; even through the winter months when your lawn's maintenance demands are few. The rewards will be clear as your lawn remains luscious, green and healthy, providing a constant flow of compliments all year round.
