Removing an existing lawn Using a proprietary non selective weed killer recommended for killing grasses, treat the existing lawn at the stated application rate. This will help prevent the weeds and weed grasses from your old lawn coming up through your new turf. Alternatively, remove the existing lawn using a turf cutter, available from all reputable hire shops. Determining the required quantity Measure the length and width of the area to be turfed, multiply one by the other to give you the amount of rolls required. Measuring inmetres is easiest as each standard roll of Rolawn turf covers 1m 2 . Add 5 to 10% for shaping. Turf laying guide Rolawn turf can be laid all year round, however frosty conditions should be avoided and laying turf in extended periods of hot and dry weather will require additional care and attention.

The soil should be turned over and free from surface stone, other debris and perennial weeds. Digging over or renovating the existing soil is important to break up any compaction, to at least 100mm deep, ideally 150mm.
