Preparing Your Yard for New Turf
How to prepare ground for new turf so it establishes evenly and stays healthy.
Remove the old lawn and weeds
Old grass and persistent weeds will come through new turf. Remove them before preparing the soil.
Get the levels right
Shape the ground so water drains away from the house and there are no hollows where water will pool.
Use a suitable soil
A layer of quality underturf soil gives new roots a good start, particularly over compacted or clay ground.
Water consistently
New turf needs consistent watering for the first few weeks. Follow any current local water restrictions.
