Please note, all turf is now treated with a liquid fertiliser before being harvested, as such a pack of fertiliser is no longer included
www.onlineturf.co.uk/ - If you’re looking for a bit of help when it comes to preparing the ground before laying turf, this is the video for you. Here at Online Turf, we want to pass on the knowledge that we have gained over the years. This video will guide you on how to:
- Decide whether or not to import new soil on the garden.
- Create a level surface for the turf to be laid onto.
- Whether or not to rotavate the existing soil.
- How to ‘heel the ground in’.
- When to apply fertiliser.
Key Points
- Decide whether or not existing soil needs rotavating or new soil to be imported.
- Rake the soil level with pathway.
- ‘Heel in the soil’ by lightly standing on the soil, rake one more and step on the soil. If a light footprint is apparent, the soil is ready for laying the turf.
- Scatter fertiliser evenly on the soil before turf is laid.

Hi Joseph, I want to do my garden which is sized 3m x 6m. I want to do it myself if at all this is possible with my own DIY skills. Do you know which soil to get and how much soil would to make it even. Where can I get the instruments and how I can do it (levelling) without any instruments. How did our ancesters do 100year ago? :D

You sound just like Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Your video was very helpful.

@ystong6345 2 года назад

If the soil is level to edge the walkway, wouldn't the installation of the turf make it higher and uneven to the walkway?

@danuk2005 2 года назад

It will settle. If you originally do it below the level of the path it will eventually sink below

@gilbertianrueda 6 лет назад

I forgot to install soil beneath my new sod today. What should I do? Help!

Put soil on top of turf

@petercarter6086 2 года назад

How long before laying turf do you have to spread and water in 'pre turf fertilizer?

@marcshields6932 Год назад

You can add to the exposed soil any time in the lead up to laying new turf, even the same day. It will enrich the soil for some time.

@realSTYLISHx 2 года назад

If the soil is level with the path and you lay the turf on top doesn’t this cause run off of soil/dirt Into the path as the soil is pre flattened

@jordanreynolds1498 Год назад

That's what I was wondering

@realSTYLISHx Год назад

@@jordanreynolds1498 I left the topsoil lower than the path when I turfed my garden, it worked well as there’s a layer of soil with the turf so now the grass is level with the slabs

@chembleton 4 года назад

I laid some turf in 2016 and now it's patchey full of moss and just generally an absolute mess. Wish I'd followed a decent video like this. All i did was lay the turf on top of the existing soil albeit smoothed out. I think the soil is poor quality and doesn't drain well in winter. I need to do the whole thing again

@MARKINAU8 6 лет назад

Should you remove all the old grass or weeds before hand?

@hrdkorebp 6 лет назад

MARKINAU8 Of course

@explorewithant8263 6 лет назад

What happens if I don’t remove some of the old grass,,I will cover over the old grass fully with soil,,would that be ok

@PeterPerez. 5 лет назад

Explore With us no it will begin to look like the old turf

@marcshields6932 Год назад

@@explorewithant8263 not generally advisable, the old grass will prevent ideal root development for the new turf especially if there is heavy thatch underneath and you are skipping a vital part - turning over/aerating the existing soil and removing some thatch. Also, the old grass could decompose badly underneath leading to health problems for the new stuff. 😊
