How to Measure, Prepare & Lay
MEASUREMENTS
To calculate how many square meters you require, take Measurements
by using the following diagrams:
- 113 meters Radius times itself times 3.14.
- 32 square meters Length times width.
- 8 square meters Height by base divided by 2.
PREPARATION
- Prepare soil as if sowing seed, remove weeds.
- Rotary hoe or turn with a spade to a level of 75-100mm.
- You may wish to add top soil from your local garden supplies.
- Rake and then use a turf leveller on the soil to level the
area.
LAYING INSTRUCTIONS
- Leave soil 20 – 25mm below required height.
- Lay Turf in a Brick pattern - start at furthest point making
a straight line. From boundaries first, roll out your turf as
you would a rug. Butt together all joints, without overlaps. Stagger
joints in each new row, like laying bricks as shown in diagram
- Cut the turf with a knife or spade for shaping.
- Rolling the turf will produce a very flat surface, but it is
not necessary.
