Because many of the needs can no longer be met well after rolling, the lawn is allowed to grow as long as possible and is only rolled up when necessary.
Lay turf immediately
Warmth leads to the drying out of the turf. Rain, on the other hand, causes rapid laziness. Both are not only undesirable, but also costly. Because it may well be that the lawn grows poorly or is completely unusable.
A satisfactory result can only be expected if the turf is laid immediately. Plan enough time and workers for the upcoming laying of turf.
Tips
First complete all groundwork before you have turf delivered to you. This is the only way you can be sure that roll-out can start immediately.
Store turf as a necessity
It is ideal if the lawn is laid within a day. But sometimes the installation starts later than planned, or the duration of the work was simply underestimated. In the meantime, you need to keep the rolls well to keep the turf alive.
Find a shady place as a storage place so that the turf does not dry out. The turf must not be covered with plastic sheeting that does not allow any air exchange. Again, you cannot store the turf for longer than two days.
Since a rolled up lawn can develop a lot of its own heat inside the roll, it should be rolled out and watered in an open area on very warm days.
Tips
Even if the laying of the turf only takes a single day, you should keep the rolls delivered in the shade. Just a few hours in the blazing sun are enough to rob you of valuable strength.
