If your lawn has seen better days after this long, unusually scorching summer, remember that September and October are ideal months to give it a fresh start. Laying new turf during early autumn gives grass the perfect opportunity to establish strong roots before winter, making it one of the best times of year to transform a tired or patchy lawn.
One of the biggest advantages of September/October turfing is the weather. Summer’s heat has usually eased, while the soil retains plenty of warmth from the preceding months. Cooler temperatures and more reliable rainfall create favourable conditions for newly laid turf, reducing the stress that grass can experience during hot, dry weather. This means there is generally less need for constant watering than when turf is laid during the height of summer.
Turfing in late summer/early autumn also gives the new turf several weeks to develop a healthy root system. With the soil still relatively warm, the roots can establish themselves beneath the surface before temperatures fall significantly. Every Sheffield turfing contractor knows that well-rooted lawn is better equipped to withstand the colder months and should be ready to put on vigorous new growth when spring arrives.
Good preparation is essential, however. Before turf is laid, good turfing contractors ensure the existing lawn and weeds are removed and the ground is properly prepared. The soil needs to be level, suitably firm and free from large stones and debris. Improving poor soil with appropriate organic matter will also help create better growing conditions. Taking time to get all of the above right will make a significant difference to the finished lawn.
Once the turf has been laid, it needs careful watering and some initial protection while it establishes. Avoid walking on it unnecessarily during the early stages, particularly when the ground is very wet, as this can disturb the new roots and damage the surface.
At Scape Easy, we believe that a new lawn is about more than simply rolling out turf. Professional preparation and installation produce a healthier, more attractive and longer-lasting result, while saving you time and effort.
So, if your garden needs a lawn makeover, don’t wait until spring. September and October are the best months for calling in the turfing contractors in Sheffield, giving your new lawn the best possible start before winter and setting it up for a lush, healthy appearance next year.
