1. Remove old turf by cutting under the grass with a spade of turf stripping machine.
2. Turn over the soil to a depth of a few centimetres by digging or using a rotovater.
3. Ensure the area is free of any stones, weeds or old turf.
4. Test the soil for any nutrient deficiency. Apply a pre-turfing fertilizer and rake into soil.
5. Continue raking to produce a smooth, even surface. Keep the surface about 2cm below any existing grass area, driveway or path.
6. Water the prepared area well in summer months to settle the soil and provide a moist base for new turf. The area should be dry and workable during turf laying.
7. Install turf immediately on delivery. Turf is a living plant and requires ground contact and moisture to sur-vive.
