Hi all!
First post so be gentle...
I have an area of 65m2 that i paid a gardener to lay turf. It needed level quite abit so i thought i would pay a professional to do it. Got some "premier turf". It cost £300 all in.
So anyway, after he laid it... i walked over the lawn to inspect it and it had loads of lumps and bumps. It just didn't seem level. I asked him about this and he just mumbled something about new turf doing that and it was ok.
That night i walked over the turf for once last time to inspect the bumps again. I lifted one roll of turf and it had a big rock underneath it!! I havnt walked on it since to make sure it roots down ok.
So a week down the line and there are in places 2 inch gaps between some of the turf rolls and some "dead" patches too.
I have been watering twice a day everyday. I also put lawn feed down to help the process.
I complained to the gardener and he said i couldn't have been watering it correctly!! He said he will come back in a week to look at it.
So my questions are-
- When turf is freshly laid would you expect when you walk on it for it to have lumps and bumps every so often?
- How can he level it now that most of the turf has rooted down??
- Any other comments/suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
