    .....from when i lay my new turf (tomorrow), how long do i need to wait until i can walk on it?
    Also, I have pet rabbits that would love to graze on the new lawn, but how long should they wait until they do?

    Many thanks!

    Hi Busybee I would have left it three weeks but on saying that,if you have to Set your mower cut height at least two inches from the ground. If you cut too close to the ground, you would expose the roots. The roots could dry out and this can mean trouble for your lawn. Always ensure that the root system of your grass is well protected.Just make doubly sure that the each turf is well rooted:)
