It is crucial to water your fresh Canturf as soon as it is laid to give it the best start. See our lawn care guide for further hints on watering

Established, healthy turf comprises of many 1000’s of living plants very close together with their roots usually within 150 mm of the soil surface. When the turf is first layed the roots are actually on top of the soil surface. It takes several weeks for the turf roots to fully establish in the soil beneath. Consequently water must be applied often until the turf roots are established. How often depends on temperature and rainfall. The soil beneath the turf should never be allowed to dry out. Your new turf should never be allowed to wilt. One way to check moisture levels is to push a screwdriver through the turf to a dept of 100mm. Penetration should be easy. Remove the screwdriver and there should be moist soil on the blade. (Not mud!)

Various causes can send a lawn yellow, such as compaction, lack of nutrients and water … go to our lawn care guide for more information.

Initially it is cheaper to seed a lawn than install a Canturf instant lawn.
But if you take into account the attention a seeded lawn requires, including watering, along with the costs of weed killers and the real risk of damage caused by using these products to the rest of your garden, it may not turn out to be cheaper at all.
If you’re unconvinced, check the Seeding a new lawn page for more information on seeding.

We believe the addition of O’connor Strawberry Clover (only this type) to be beneficial to a lawn. It adds nitrogen and it helps against scarab grubs. It readily fills bare spots that develop due to lack of attention and it has a lovely soft feel underfoot. Canturf supply turf with or without clover as desired.

We generally say around two weeks after installation, ‘if they can wait that long’.
