How Do You Maintain a Newly Laid Lawn?

Aftercare is crucial following turf installation, and watering is the top priority during the first two weeks. Turf must remain consistently moist to prevent shrinkage and gaps forming between rolls.

Avoid walking on the lawn unnecessarily during establishment. Once rooted, mowing should begin with blades set high to avoid stressing young grass.

Feeding the lawn after 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertiliser promotes healthy growth. Aeration and seasonal treatments can further improve lawn condition.

Weed control may be necessary after the first few months, though healthy turf naturally suppresses many weeds.

With proper care, a professionally installed lawn will develop into a dense, vibrant garden feature that enhances property appeal and usability for years to come.
