Good evening all,
After a couple weeks of preparation, I finally laid my new turf down in the back garden this evening.
I have a very quick question regarding walking on the turf.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not in any hurry to start walking on it anytime soon. However, what I am slightly concerned about is this;
Whilst laying the turf - especially towards the end of the process - I stepped some of the sections - albeit very briefly. Only for about 10 seconds or less. I was using a couple of old boards that I had lying around for the majority of the evening.
I've heard that if you walk on turf whilst you're laying it (or within a couple of weeks afterwards), that it can 'go black'. I didn't like the sound of this so thought I'd ask for some advice.
Am I looking like having to replace the areas in which I briefly walked on?
If anyone else has had a similar experience, did you find your grass went black?
Thanks,
V
