Always begin from a straight edge, laying your lawn in a brick-like pattern with the edges matted closely together.

After Care Advice
Our team offers not only direct help but also professional advice. When you are looking for tips on maintaining your lawn after installation, here are some things you’ll need to keep in mind.
Watering
When you want your new lawn to establish itself well, watering it is essential. Water your new lawn once a day for a week, then every two to three days until it is established. Check if your lawn is established correctly by attempting to lift the edge, and continue watering even after the edge no longer lifts away from the ground.
Mowing
After your lawn is established, with its root system beginning to integrate with the ground underneath the turf, you will eventually need to mow the growing lawn. New lawns usually can be mowed two to four weeks after being laid, but make sure you only mow the tips of your lawn to increase its health and strength.
Fertilising
A healthy lawn requires regular fertilisations, not just fertilisations prior to laying turf. You can use a slow-release fertiliser and a hand-held or wheeled fertiliser dispenser and then rake the formula gently through your lawn. It is often wise to repeat your fertilisations efforts at the start of spring and in the middle of summer and autumn.
