Question
Hi, I have turf lawn laid approx 11 days ago. Where the edges of the turf meets it is turning brown and dying. Can I stop this? Is there anything I should be doing?
I was told to water the lawn until the roots took hold and currently still watering it daily.
Kind Regards
Natasha

Answer
The sod is showing signs of drying out and it is telling me that the edges of the individual pieces are not in contact with the ground. If it is practicable, spread sand along the seams and water it in so that the sand will fill the spaces which might exist under the sod. An alternative would be to run a roller over the sod after it has been thoroughly watered. Keep watering daily but, in addition, use a hose to soak the edges of the sod pieces extra well.
