Turf hints, tips and FAQs

Each roll will cover 1m² and is approximately 40.5cm wide x 247cm long.

We use an amenity mixture of Dwarf Rye grasses and fescues. Our seed mix is chosen to have a fine appearance with durability for everyday use. In general, the mix includes:

10% Tetraploid Dwarf Rye

20% Perennial Dwarf

45% Strong Creeping Fescue

15% Slender Creeping Fescue

10% Chewing Fescue

Depending on the area you are in this may vary, but typically it will be delivered on one of Easylawn’s lorries with a mounted fork lift. Please be aware that full pallets can weigh up to 1 tonne, therefore we have to be able to put the pallets on a suitable level surface e.g. a driveway, not gravel.

If you are in any doubt, please ring us to check before your turf is dispatched. There is nothing we can do once the turf has left us.

No problem – ring us, we are here to help! Changes must be made by lunch time the day before delivery.

This varies on the time of year and the aftercare to the turf. As a general rule, turf takes about 2 weeks to root. You can check this by turning a corner up and checking the root growth (it’s advisable to check more than one as this can vary). Once the corners can no longer be turned, the turf should be at a point to mow and use.

We grow on a clay loam base. We find this establishes very well on heavier soil types and is equally happy on sandier soils.

You can measure in any units of measurement you’d like – the easiest to convert is meters but we can do feet and yards if you call us. Use the online calculator to help you. We realise not all gardens are perfect shapes but most can be broken down and added together.

Please see our How to Lay Turf section for more information.

There is no right answer to this. At Easylawn we cut every week of the year. In winter the ground is likely to be harder to prepare but the grass will need less watering to establish it. In the summer it is still ok to lay turf but you should be aware you will need to water the turf regularly until it has fully established. You should be aware of the time turf will survive in the roll as it decreases as the temperature increases.

We recommend you allow your turf to root fully before mowing. This is easy to check by lifting the corners of the turf, check 3 or 4 to ensure the whole lawn has rooted.

All our turf is cut to order. Orders are cut on the day, before delivery.

We’ve been growing and harvesting turf for 30 years with 90% of our business based on repeat orders from professionals in the landscape trade and retailers.
