Why are you asking now, in February, when the night-time temperature in
Leeds (UK) is going to be -3 tonight, and you barely hit the freezing
point during the day.
You put down sod in November and expect it to look good right now?
Where are your brains?
There's something called WINTER happening right now, and it generally
makes most plant life LOOK LIKE SHIT until it's over.
I have hired a gardening company to come 3 times a year to
fertilise the lawn by injecting it or something (sorry i
know nothing at all about gardening!)
You have more money than brains - that much is clear.
And why are you posting to usenet via the lame and spammy web interface
known as a "banter" site?
im wanting a little advice on things i could do to help growth
of the lawn,
Wait until spring. How's that for advice?
What do you think you can do right now?
Do you think watering the lawn is going to help RIGHT NOW?
Do you think that spreading fertilizer or grass seed is going to help
RIGHT NOW?

I am asking now because i want to be prepared when it is time to sort the grass out.

no i didnt put it down the house builder contracted a gardener to put the turf down.
My Brains??I am not a gardener a lawn is just a By-product of my house, I hold a 2.1 Degree in Business Management and im sure my job as a conversion cell manager is more lucrative than being a "lawn guy" but that is irrelevant.

More money than Brains?? I did not purchase the turf as I mentioned earlier the building manufacturer “Charles Church” must have no Brains as do the company that turfed the lawn, if a company gives you a date they are going to lay your lawn and they get an independent gardening company to carry out the work who am I to argue?

I googled Lawn advice message board and this was the first site that popped up so i registered and asked for advice, i am not someone who spends hours on end online living my life through different web applications, If using this message board as i have is not recommended then why is it the number one search result on Google with no warnings to use the site Via "usenet"?

Thankyou for your one line of constructive advice
I do not know what i can do right now that’s why i have posted on here obviously!
How would i know if spreading fertilizer is going to help right now? I don’t know if there are any winter treatments available.
I am perplexed that you think everyone in the world is as obsessed as you with lawns and gardens there are a reason people employ gardeners as they see them as to time consuming, I am 29 not 64 i have a very stressful time consuming job and the garden is the least of my concerns, i have 10 mins free to deal with the garden and ask for advice and i get a typical arrogant "keyboard warrior" speaking to me like shite.
So thanks "Lawn Guy" and i hope in time you realise there is more to peoples worlds than the internet and there Lawns! There is a whole world out there beyond your garden and computer monitor!
