Frequently asked questions
How much extra turf should I order?
Around 5 percent for a simple rectangle, and up to 10 percent for curved beds, paths and awkward corners where more trimming is needed.
When is the best time to lay turf?
Autumn and spring are ideal, when the soil is warm and moist. Avoid mid-summer heat and hard winter frosts, and keep new turf well watered.
