roll if possible.

Irrigate the lawn
Make sure the seedbed is constantly moist. After
establishment irrigation should be restricted. Water
between 30-40 mm at a time to ensure a deeper root
system.

Establishment of a new lawn
Prepare the ground
Prepare the ground by digging or by using a rotorvator. Level
the ground if needed. The better the seedbed is prepared, the
better the lawn will be. Good drainage is important and deep
digging will help.
Rake the ground
Rake the ground. Roll or tread the soil and rake again. Finally,
add fertiliser and rake to stimulate the establishment and root
development.
