    Wow, so this is Minecraft? Jokes aside, my photographic mind has committed this to my neuro-archives. Many thanks.

    I liked your video as it confirmed most of my ideas on how I will proceed. One thing I would like to mention is that you did "brick" your sods but you didn’t actually make mention that this is what should be done. By "bricking" I mean overlapping the sods as though you were laying bricks in a wall. Overall well done though….hope my DIY turf project comes out as good as yours πŸ™‚

    Good video. If the ends of the rolls of turf are not square, overlap one roll end onto another by about 2 inches. Then cut through both mats of turf with a long knife. Throw away the trimmed ends and you should have two straight edges to join together.

    What preparation do we need for laying turf in a new build houses lawn? It is full of stones and the soil is pale.

  22. Rachel Cox on January 27, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    How long would you wait before you sew grass seeds if you were not laying turf?



  23. Humera farooq on January 27, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    It was very helpful, can we sow the seeds in February, in uk? thanks



  24. Asha Jerome on January 27, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Thank you for the video. I’m planning to have lawn in my garden, so this was helpful. Just wanted to know the brand of sprinkler you are using in this video.



  25. Chris McLean on January 27, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    Very well made video, thanks very much. Clear, concise, and you nicely explain why you do certain things. Well done.



  26. Mergrew 01 on January 27, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    Only one critical thing to remember when laying turf, "green side up"!!!!!



  27. Beasts on January 27, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    How long does it need to be watered for everyday? I hear some people say 10min and others 5min. It’s for 20m2.



  28. Melina on January 27, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    But by leaving it for several weeks will allow time for weeds vto grow?

  32. M M on January 27, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Can you lay a new lawn roll on top of the old one or does it need to be removed first?



  33. SongBillong on January 27, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    All you need is to defeat the zombies and beat the level, you’ll get more lawn space and you can use your sunshine to plant your plants.
