How does one look after a newly laid turf lawn?

1. Water regularly. Newly laid turf needs to be watered deeply and regularly to help it establish roots. Water the lawn for 15-20 minutes daily, and more often if the weather is hot or dry.

2. Mow infrequently. Newly laid turf should not be mowed too often, as this can damage the delicate roots. Mow the lawn only when it is 3-4 inches tall, and use a sharp blade to avoid tearing the grass.

3. Fertilize according to the manufacturer's instructions. Newly laid turf should be fertilized according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 4-6 weeks after it is laid.

4. Avoid chemicals. Avoid using weed killers or pesticides on newly laid turf, as they can damage the grass.

5. Aerate the lawn. Aerating the lawn will help to improve drainage and air circulation, which will benefit the turf's growth.

6. Overseed bare spots. If any bare spots appear in the lawn, overseed them with the same type of grass.

7. Keep foot traffic off the lawn. Avoid walking on newly laid turf, as this can damage the grass. If you must walk on the lawn, wear soft-soled shoes.

8. Be patient. It takes time for newly laid turf to establish itself. With proper care, the lawn will be healthy and lush in no time.
