Based on expert advice, the best time to lay a new lawn is in mid-autumn.
While mid-autumn is considered ideal, you actually have a longer window. You can lay turf any time between mid-autumn and early spring. The crucial condition during this extended period is that the soil should not be too wet or frosty.
Laying turf during the autumn or spring months offers distinct advantages:
- Reduced Mowing: Less mowing is typically required during these seasons.
- Undisturbed Rooting: With less need for maintenance, newly laid turf can remain relatively undisturbed for several weeks, which significantly helps it establish and get rooted in properly.
Choosing the right time frame ensures your new lawn has the best chance to take root successfully before facing the stresses of hot summer or harsh winter conditions.
