How to perform turfing Leeds

Posted by Johny Dean on November 13th, 2013

Do you want to benefit from a lovely garden in just a few hours? This is possible only if you decide to lay some lawn turf in your garden. Instead of sowing grass seeds and wait for them to develop, you can turn to a quicker solution. Turfing Leeds may be a bit more expensive than sowing, but the benefits that it provides are definitely more numerous, not to mention faster, than those generated by sowing grass seeds.

One of the many advantages provided by turfing Leeds is represented by this very activity; laying lawn turf is a task that anyone can undertake, from your four-year-old to your great-grandmother. All that you have to do is to make sure the ground area is leveled, without rocks or other obstacles, and then unroll the lawn turf on the soil. Lawn turf comes in rolls, just like fabrics.

Depending on the size of your garden, you may have to cut some of the lawn turf that you have purchased, in order to match the exact dimensions of the garden. For this, use a sharp knife or a professional cutter. To avoid problems, always wear a pair of gardening gloves. They protect your hands against the elements or the potential hazards created by using sharp tools, such as knives, and can be some fashionable items as well.

After laying the turf, you have to water it to give it the chance to start growing roots. Gardening specialists say that you should not let turf or sod dry out, therefore, you have to water it on a regular basis. If you live in a high humidity area, water the sod rarer. Taking into consideration that the best time to lay turf in your garden is spring or autumn, when rains are present almost daily, watering the sod should not be a problem.

Those who undertake services like landscaping Leeds prefer to perform turfing during spring or autumn, because they say that turf needs a few weeks to grow roots in the ground and prepare itself for summer, respectively winter. If you lay turf in the summertime, or during winter, you could end up ruining a perfectly good turf, because this could get damaged by a too powerful sun, or by the winter cold.

Once the turf raises about 5 cm from the ground, it is time to mow it. This activity is recommended to be performed with the help of a mowing machine that uses a number of blades to cut a lawn at a specific height. Grass cutting or trimming is a common task undertaken by companies providing landscaping Leeds. If you want to benefit from correctly-cut grass in your garden, always contact professional landscapers or gardeners.
