Sherborne Turf

...rolling out the quality since 1975


Preparation

  • The key to any lawn is well prepared soil
  • Treatment with a Glyphosate based weed-killer (systemic herbicide) prior to cultivation will remove any weeds present and help prevent re-growth
  • Remove stones larger than 15mm (0.6"); remaining smaller stones will aid drainage
  • Firm the ground by treading, then rake and level the soil creating a fine tilth
  • The ground can be considered well prepared when a trodden shoe makes a mark but does not sink into the soil
  • Water lightly prior to laying so the turf is placed onto a damp surface
  • Apply a dressing of our balanced fertiliser (30-60 grams or 1-2 ounces per square yard) to aid root establishment
