    A new roll turf lawn requires more attention than simply rolling out the grass. For starters, you will have to prepare the ground similar for seeding. After you lay the roll turf, it will need (during dry sunny spells) daily watering for at least 2-3 weeks. You will also need to keep the dogs away for 2-3 weeks until sod has set.
