Turfing A Weedy Area.
One of the advantages turf has over seed is that on areas of perennial weed such as nettles,ground elder and brambles turf can be used straight after the area is cleared to create a lawn.
Ideally before clearing the weeds they should be sprayed with Round up weed killer and left for 4 to 6 weeks.However if the weeds are cleared without spraying first they might grow might regrow through the turf but they will not be able to with stand the contestant weekly or fortnightly cutting a lawn receives.
The best time to turf is in the spring or the autumn to allow the new turf to create some roots before the weather turns warm.
