Yes, turf can be laid on a slope, but it requires careful preparation and installation to prevent erosion. Prepare the soil as you would for a flat area, ensuring it’s properly compacted and levelled. Lay the turf across the slope rather than down to help it stay in place. Use stakes or landscape pins to secure the turf if the slope is steep. Water the turf regularly until it establishes roots, which will help anchor it securely.

Preventing lawn diseases involves maintaining a healthy lawn through proper watering, mowing and fertilising practices. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent fungal growth. Aerate your lawn regularly to reduce soil compaction and promote air circulation. Mow at the correct height and avoid cutting too low, as this can stress the grass. If you notice signs of disease, such as discoloured patches or unusual growth, treat with a suitable fungicide and improve lawn care practices.

It’s best to wait about 4 to 6 weeks after laying turf before applying fertiliser. This allows the turf to establish its roots without the added stress of fertiliser. Once the turf is established, apply a balanced fertiliser to promote growth and overall health. Always follow the product instructions and avoid over-fertilising, which can burn the grass and damage the roots. Regular fertilising helps keep your lawn lush, green and resistant to weeds and diseases.
