What is the best time of year to lay turf?
Turf can be laid for much of the year, but spring and autumn in the West Midlands generally give the best establishment conditions thanks to milder temperatures and reliable rainfall.
How soon can you walk on newly laid turf?
It's best to keep off new turf as much as possible for the first few weeks while the roots establish, though light use is usually fine after around 3-4 weeks.
Can new turf be laid over an existing lawn?
The existing lawn generally needs to be removed and the ground properly prepared first - laying straight over old grass gives a poor, uneven result.
