How to Lay Buffalo Lawn Rolls for the Best Results

Buffalo turf rolls are a quick and simple method of installing a new lawn. For the best results, you will need to make sure the rolls are laid down properly. Here are a few pointers.

Prepare the ground

You will need to prepare the ground before you can install your lawn. Any weeds or old grass should be removed, and you may want to use an underlay soil mix. You should ensure that the ground is level and compacted, preferably with a heavy roller. Otherwise, the ground may have pockets of air in it which can cause the lawn to subside and cause dry patches.

Lay the turf quickly

You should lay your buffalo turf rolls as soon as possible, preferably on the day of purchase. The grass is a living plant that can dry out quickly if it is left out, especially in hot weather, and leaving it for too long can spoil the ultimate appearance of your lawn.

Roll out the turf

You should roll your turf out in parallel lines. The rows should line up with each other — you should not leave any gaps or overlap the rows. If you are laying the turf on a sloping surface, lay the turf across the slope rather than up and down it, and begin at the bottom, working your way upwards. This will ensure that rain does not cause the strips to buckle and slip down. You should lay the turf rolls in a "brick" pattern so that the ends of the strips of turf do not line up.

Water the turf

You should water your buffalo turf rolls as soon as you have laid them. If you are laying them in hot weather, you should water each roll as soon as you have put it down — otherwise, you can water the lawn as a whole once it is down. You should try to keep the lawn moist for two to four weeks after putting it down.

Keep off the grass

You should try to avoid walking on the lawn when you have just laid it, particularly when it is still wet. You could damage the turf by walking on it and create dips in the ground which will spoil the even surface.

Take care when laying out your buffalo turf rolls, and you and your family will be able to enjoy a long-lasting and attractive lawn.
