Congratulations, you have opted for buffalo turf to make your lawn green and rejuvenating. Once the turf is supplied, the entire game is of laying it successfully. The growth and survival will rely a lot on how well it has been laid. There is a whole guide given by the suppliers on how to lay buffalo turf.
SITE PREPARATION
Once the turf grass is delivered, you will immediately have to prepare the site. This will include removing old grass and weeds and improving the soil with an underlay soil mix. All these things have to be done carefully before laying new turf. In some kinds of turf, it is recommended to complete all these things before delivering your turf.
TURF INSTALLATION
Once you have turf supplies in your hand, you should not delay at all in getting them installed. The reason is that it starts drying quickly after it is cut from the farm. The speed of drying will be very fast in hot weather conditions. During the summer season, it is recommended to lay the turf in the section and water every section soon after installation.
The process of turf installation is described below.
Roll out the turf around the edge of the total area
In slope areas, it is recommended to lay the turf across the slope. This means you should start laying from left to right rather than from the top of the slope downwards. You should also prefer starting at the bottom of the hill.
Vendors of turf supplies recommend laying each roll in a brickwork pattern with the length of the roles parallel to each other.
While laying the buffalo turf, you should fill in all areas and ensure no exposed soil is there.
When turf laying is done thoroughly, you can press the turf firmly to ensure good contact between soil and turf.
WATERING GUIDELINES
If you have chosen the summer season for turf installation, the first watering tip is already given above. It says that you should install buffalo turf in sections and in water every unit after installation. Apart from this, some other watering tips are given below.

After the first installation, the area should be watered thoroughly, and it has to be ensured that this soil is thoroughly damped.
