Last Updated: 06/08/2021 Back in July, I showed you an example of why you shouldn’t lay turf in hot weather – well, not unless you’re going to ensure that it’s properly watered.
Well, the Customer that lawn belongs to went back to the Contractor that laid the turf and was reassured, “don’t worry, it’ll come back.”
Looking as sad as ever, this lawn really is beyond repair.
