New turf just laid. Need advice on mowing.?

[elaine]

I am watering as recommended using a sprinkler and following advice not walking on the grass. Im worried that if i mow it after a period of say 10 days the turf will sink with the weight. Lawn is quite lumpy - just laid yesterday. Any tips?

It's not so much sinking that will be the problem as the fact that you may lift it, thus destroying the turf's attempt at rooting. I'd agree, you need to leave it to settle in and begin to grow vigorously before you go disturbing it. At least a good couple of weeks, if not longer. Personally, I'd prefer it to gain at least a couple of inches, then only top it off lightly by at the most a third.

Don't mow the lawn for at least three weeks after laying sod. That is what I was told by the company who laid my sod.

i would wait on mowing for as long as you can for the roots to take hold....it will be fine...the lawn will stiffen up...
