I've just had some turf layed today, a bit late in the year I know. I've been told not to walk on it for 6 weeks, but am also aware that frost could be a big problem. How long will it be before the new turf will be OK in sub-zero temparatures and what will happen if there are a few heavy frosts over the next few weeks?

We had our lawn laid just over a month ago and it took brilliantly. Our gardener told me that they often lay turf as late as November. Grass is a lot tougher than you think and unless we have extreme & continued frosts it'll be fine.

Just try to keep off it as long as you can, but 4 weeks is usually enough. And you should pray for torrential rain too. You can't water it enough!

thanks Champagne. Torrential rain shouldnt need that much praying for looking at the weather report.
