When is the latest that you can lay new turf?

[SwedishEdith]

Lawn was trashed by builders last summer so when should we be thinking about returfing it? Now?

Thanks

Yup roundabout now

We did ours really late last summer because we are neither natural planners or gardeners. We ought 75% off yellow turf from Wickes. Slapped it down, watered it and hoped for the best. We now have a lovely, lush green lawn. My dd's reasoning is that yellow turf really really wants to grow.

I wouldn't necessarily follow my advice though. it was all a happy accident.

I like the cheap yellow turf idea - sounds like us

cutteduppear - do you know up to what month we can lay it if we opt out of the Wickes yellow turf option? June? July? Or is that too late?

Really no later than this month; it needs a bit of cool weather to get its roots down and start growing before the sunshine kicks in and starts dehydrating it.

Actually you won't be able to buy it later in the year unless the seller is really unscrupulous.

I retract my last statement; I remember now, I have actually bought turf myself at other times of the year.
But if you leave it til summer, what with this hosepipe ban coming up (if you live in the affected areas) you might as well go and flush some £20 notes down the loo.

I've only got 10 days? Gulp

Before seven o'clock PM this time of year.

Busy weekend coming up then!
Don't worry; if you get it done next month and keep watering it in it should be ok.

Thanks all @ redbind (took a few minutes). Won't birds just eat the seeds?
