Questions
How soon can I walk on new turf?
Keep off for about two weeks while the roots knit into the soil, and water it regularly.
How often should a lawn be mown?
Usually every one to two weeks in the growing season, never cutting off more than a third of the grass height at once.
Which grass is best for my garden?
Pemba grass is popular for Kenyan lawns. The best choice depends on sun, shade and use, so ask us to advise on your site.
