FAQs

Common questions.

When is the best time to lay turf in Dorset?+

Autumn (September–November) and spring (March–May) are ideal — soil is warm and moist so roots establish quickly. We lay year-round except in hard frost.

How long before I can walk on a new lawn?+

Light foot traffic after 2–3 weeks, full use after about 6 weeks. We give you a clear aftercare sheet on completion.

Can you lay turf over an existing lawn?+

No — old turf and weeds should be stripped out so the new turf roots into clean, levelled soil. We include that in our quote.

How often will I need to water it?+

Daily for the first 2–3 weeks in warm weather, tapering off as roots establish. We'll talk you through it on the day.

Do you cover Poole and Christchurch?+

Yes — Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne, Verwood, Highcliffe and surrounding Dorset.
