Professional Turf Maintenance & Care

It’s best to fertilise around six weeks after installation, and then 3-4 times per year in smaller doses: Once in late autumn, once in early spring and once in mid-summer.

Mowing your turf for the first time can be confusing! We recommend that if you can’t lift the roll then you are ready to mow! This can be 20-50mm long, making sure you only cut off 1/3 of the leaf blade. The time period can be 2-6 weeks after laying depending on the weather turf will vary depending on the amount of sun/shade it is in, and the type of turf. If its stuck to the ground trim it!

• If you have installed in Autumn, you may only need to water once every 3 or 4 days.
• If your turf has been installed in spring or summer, for the first two weeks water thoroughly once a day.

If you try and lift your turf and it’s rooted in, ease off to watering only once a week.

• Heavy clay-type soils retain water for longer, so they can be watered less often, but make sure you water at a slower rate so the water soaks in well.
• Sandier soils on the other hand are well-draining, so water your lawn more frequently, but give a little less water than you would in clay.

• Slow release, no-burn fertilizers.
• In Spring use a high-nitrogen fertilizer. This promotes new leaf and shoot growth.
• In Autumn use a high-potassium fertilizer. This protects from frost damage and the harsh cold
