Install your lawn immediately upon delivery.

Begin by installing turf along the longest straight line, such as a driveway or sidewalk.

Butt and push edges and ends against each other tightly, without stretching the turf.

Avoid gaps or overlaps.

Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion, using a sharp knife to trim corners, etc. 

Avoid leaving small strips at outer edges as they are more susceptible to drying.

On slopes, place the turf pieces lengthwise across the slope.

After installing, roll the entire area to improve turf-to-soil contact and remove air pockets.

In hot weather, water the lawn while installing.  DO NOT wait until the entire lawn is installed before turning on the water.
