Water itWaterWatering your new Rolawn turf is the single most important step you need to take to establish a beautiful and healthy lawn.. Start watering on the day turf is laid. On hot days, you may need to commence watering large lawns prior to laying all the turf.. Ensure that the new lawn is never short of water. Lift corners of the turf to check water has percolated through to the underlying soil.. Water repeatedly until the turf is well established.. If rainfall is experienced you still need to check that the lawn is receiving suffi cient water.. It is best to water turf in the early morning or during the evening so that less water is lost to evaporation.. Once established, occasional watering during dry periods should be adequate.MowBe prepared to mow your new lawn as soon as it needs it, provided this can be done without disturbing the turf.If turf is dislodged, replace it and allow the turf more time to establish before recommencing mowing.. Don't delay. Most people allow turf to get too long. Mowing encourages establishment, although this should be the only traffi c in the fi rst few weeks.. Never remove more than one third of the grass blade length.. Alternate the direction in which you mow your lawn.. Clippings do not have to be collected if they are minimal, provided sunlight is reaching the blades of grass. Clippings in small amounts return nutrients to the soil, encouraging a healthy lawn.2Immediately after laying Soon after laying

Mow it3MowingRolawn Medallion® turf is used to a cut height of 25mm (1") and Rolawn Minster Pro® turf 12mm (½") . You should aim for the same, taking no more than one third of the grass blade length at any one time. Adjust how often you mow your lawn dependent on how quickly the grass grows. In the peak growing seasons frequent mowing can dramatically enhance your lawn's appearance.If your lawn becomes too long, gradually bring it back down to the correct height. Mowing a lawn from 75mm (3") down to 25mm (1") in one cut will result in a weak, sparse, pale lawn. Whatever type of mower you have it must be well maintained, with blades sharpened at least once a year.FeedingIt is vital your lawn receives suffi cient nutrients.
