Default Laying a lawn in January?

"Reader" wrote in message
om...
I have read various posts on how to lay turf, but none on when to lay it.

I would ideally like to lay some toward the end of the month.
I am in the SE of England.

It's only a small lawn 4mx4m.

Is it just the frost i need to worry about?

Regards.


No, the rain. Wait until March. Otherwise you'll never get the soil firm or
level enough, so afterwards when you walk on it lumps and bumps will
develop.
