Rolawn turf can be laid all year round, however turf should never be laid onto frozen ground and laying turf in extended periods of hot and dry weather will require additional care and attention.
Turf must be rolled out immediately in spring/summer and within 24 hours in the autumn/winter, therefore you should ensure the site is fully prepared before arranging for the turf to be delivered.
The ideal times to seed a lawn or overseed an existing lawn are spring and autumn, with germination taking 7 to 21 days depending on growing conditions.
