    just wondering how long I need to be watering my lawn for? Laid the turf 3 weeks ago and it has been rained on or watered every day since. I thought I could reduce the watering now, but OH think another week? Any advice?

    I wouldnt water it everyday at this time of year, once after laying then once a week if no rain is fine for spring weather.

    The roots should have taken after four weeks

    so still don't walk on it and don't water it for a week then? The roots have take nicely, so when do we need to think about cutting it?

    Id avoid walking on it for a few more weeks if poss, cut it when the weathers a bit dier on a high cut.

    Gradually lower your cutting heigh each time till you get to the height you normally cut at.
