Yes turf can be laid in winter, but it will take longer to establish due to slower root growth in cooler temperatures. Ensure the soil is prepared properly and keep the turf moist, but avoid overwatering. Winter planting is less demanding in terms of watering compared to summer but the grass won’t grow as vigorously until spring. It’s still a good time to lay turf if you’re looking to have a green lawn ready for the warmer months.

The lifespan of turf largely depends on the type of grass and how well it is maintained. With proper care, including regular mowing, watering and fertilising a turf lawn can last many years. Most common turf varieties like Buffalo Couch and Kikuyu can thrive for over 10 years. However, poor maintenance, pest infestations and neglect can significantly reduce the lifespan of your turf. Regular lawn care helps keep it healthy and looking great.

Turf should generally be fertilised every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season, which is usually spring and summer. Use a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy growth and keep the grass looking vibrant. Avoid over-fertilising as this can lead to excessive growth that requires more frequent mowing. In winter, fertilising can be reduced or done once with a slow-release fertiliser to keep the grass healthy during the cooler months.
