I've been putting off the task of putting down top soil and turf all summer
now. What I was wanting to know was is there a cut off point where you need
to leave until next year or can you put turf down all year round ?


Apart from frosty weather (and snow) you can supposedly lay turf most
of the year. But I'd avoid the winter if possible, certainly Dec-Feb,
as it won't do much and will be at some risk from frost.

Early Autumn is ideal, because it will get some sun and it's not too
hot. If you are lucky, you will not need to water it as often in the
Autumn, although most recent autumns have been dry.
