New Turf problems

Hi I'm new to this site. I'm looking for some help. hope im in the right place.

We had a new turf put down last Monday watered as instructed once in evening, but as youll remember we hit a very hot few days the ground was dry even with watering and the turf began dying so I began heavily watering morning and night 6 days on my turf is 90% back to life and looking lovely but still a few stubborn edges where it suffered the worst that are brown but definitely improving so i have no worries there.

Now im facing a new issue ive noticed a fair few blades of grass now have brown tips. The lawn hasnt been walked on or cut whats causing this any help would be greatly appreciated i spent alot of money on this garden so need a fix !
Also should i now calm down with the watering and go back to once a day?

 

Did the landscaper who did the turf leave any instructions for you?
New turf need to be watered in when theres a dry spell but if you are now getting the rain I am hold back on watering and let the rain do the work but if its not enough then continue to water to avoid shrinkage.
Turf will not be solid green at all times and it reacts to environmental conditions, you do get blades that die off and that is what it looks like to me. However if you have any concerns you should go back to company who laid the lawn.
Personally with the dry weather and as it was stressed by the lack of water I would say its not something to be concerned about as you say its recovering well.

 

Thanks for the reply Liz he originally said water well when the sun set and dont walk or cut it for around 3-4 weeks. I contacted him again during the drought and heat spell when the turf started suffering he told me to soak it early morning amd evening as it has dried out too much with the hot weather. I laid off watering it when it rained but where i am its only rained twice since so I've been doing it every day.

 

Thanks fat controller. You've both reassured me it is taking patience especially when it appeared to be dead watching it daily hoping it would show signs of improvement was frustrating but thankfully as you say its currently paying off. I just hope it continues i panicked seeing the brown tips as i read it could be a fungal issue if night times are above a certain temperature but currently its not.

 

Im sure it will be fine.
The technical answer involves a process called evapotranspiration which in basic terms is how the plant controls the release of moisture through openings in the Cuticle called stomata.
Its a very important process as it effect photosynthesis. New turf will have an good source of nutrients and maybe he added a fertiliser which adds the growth of the plant.
When the plant has more nutrients it increases its growth and can force the plant to grow quickly, we see this when you apply a high N feed that creates a spurt of growth. The grass when growing quickly will became stressed out quicker as it can't control the moisture content release so in a dry period the grass shows a sudden dip and stresses out.
A plant is able to stop moisture leaving the plant but in return this effects Photosynthesis.
This is what makes grass plants as Fat Controller stated resilient and why a good practice with fertilisers can make a difference to the quality of the plant.
