Hi all,

My partner and I have recently had our garden remodelled and have had new turf installed.

The turf was laid 4 days ago, and it seems to be thinning in certain areas. I'm watering it daily using a sprinkler system for around half an hour or so at a time. I'm a complete novice when it comes to lawns, so any advice would be appreciated.

I'm based in the UK, and haven't had much rain lately.

Not knowing what was under the sod before hand, my question is, was the soil lightly tilled prior to laying the new sod down?

That looks like a giant raised bed,
From the picture its either not getting enough water along the fence edge or maybe possibly a fungus from the mulch bed?
Only 4 days ? That sod was probably on its way to problems before they laid it?
I have pulled large tuffs of grass and tossed them to the side that look better than that after 4 days?

Im sure more informed people will chime in?
