Laying turf

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I am thinking of laying turf and curious about how long it might take for it to be OK to walk on after being put down. Can it vary at all or is there usually a rough average?

Thanks

    Hi @sarahjanebrown159 and welcome!  :)

    I think it depends on the weather conditions when you lay it - if it's warm and damp, it'll root more quickly into the soil beneath.  About 3 weeks seems average...  if you try to lift a corner you'll soon see if it's rooting or not.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
