When to lay turf and seed

Rolawn turf can be laid all year round, however turf should never be laid onto frozen ground and laying turf in extended periods of hot and dry weather will require additional care and attention.

Turf must be rolled out immediately in spring and summer, and within 24 hours in autumn and winter, so it’s essential to prepare your site before arranging delivery. For best results, use Turf & Lawn Seeding Topsoil as a high-quality base layer to encourage healthy root development and drainage.

If you’re deciding whether to use turf or seed for your new lawn, explore Turfing Versus Seeding a Lawn Comparison, for an overview of the benefits of each method.

The ideal times to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing one are spring and autumn, when soil temperatures and moisture levels promote strong germination. Typically, germination takes between 7 and 21 days depending on weather and soil conditions. For detailed guidance, see How to Sow a Lawn from Seed and  When to Sow Grass Seed.

To achieve the same professional-quality finish as Rolawn turf, use Medallion® Lawn Seed 1kg for smaller gardens or Medallion® Lawn Seed 20kg for larger areas and commercial projects.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
