Really delighted that my practical step-by-step video for B&Q has now had over 1 million views! Hopefully there are now many, many beautiful new lawns gracing gardens around the country. Now's the perfect time for some spring lawn care, so pop into your local B&Q store to find out what you should be doing to keep it in top condition.

What a helpful video and wish I’d watched this first. Tried two others and stopped after a few minutes, then watched this right through. Short, to the point, we’ll presented and demonstrated. Everything you need to know.

Good video. If the ends of the rolls of turf are not square, overlap one roll end onto another by about 2 inches. Then cut through both mats of turf with a long knife. Throw away the trimmed ends and you should have two straight edges to join together.

All you need is to defeat the zombies and beat the level, you'll get more lawn space and you can use your sunshine to plant your plants.

Thank you so much, Adam! Amazing video and your turf looks really good😜

I liked your video as it confirmed most of my ideas on how I will proceed. One thing I would like to mention is that you did "brick" your sods but you didn't actually make mention that this is what should be done. By "bricking" I mean overlapping the sods as though you were laying bricks in a wall. Overall well done though....hope my DIY turf project comes out as good as yours :)

Thank you for the video. I'm planning to have lawn in my garden, so this was helpful. Just wanted to know the brand of sprinkler you are using in this video.

How long do you leave the sprinkler in one area before moving to the next? Thanks.
