There are a lot of Crane Flies (Daddy Longlegs) flying around at the moment, and that could spell trouble for newly laid lawns. The female lays eggs, and the larvae can live under turf for up to a year, steadily munching their way through the roots, and attracting predators that can also assist in destroying your new lawn. Now is the time to act, by using a product such as Bayers Provado®, available from most good garden centres. This can be applied from mid August to October, and is much cheaper than a new lawn!
