When your turf arrives, lay it as soon as possible
Start by laying along a straight edge and choose an edge that which will enable you to keep laying without walking over the turf that you have laid. If it is a hot day, start watering as soon as you can, even if you start in sections.
Lay turf slabs in brick pattern
Lay the slabs in a brick pattern which means stagger the joins to help hold the moisture in. Tuck the ends of the slabs in to again help keep the moisture in.
Cut the edges with a shovel or garden shears
Use a shovel edge or sharp garden blade to cut the edges. Use the off cut pieces to fill any gaps that you have. Again make sure that the edges are tucked in to help prevent moisture loss.
If you do have access to a roller you can roll the lawn. Rolling helps the new lawn roots make contact with the ground and can assist with establishment.
Water your lawn
As soon as your lawn is laid, start watering. If it is a hot day you should start watering as soon as you can, you don't need to wait until you have finished to start watering.
