New-build gardens in Wales
South Wales splits between the reddish clays around Cardiff, the soft, flat levels beside the Severn estuary and the coalfield clays and shales of the valleys and Swansea. In the north-east, Wrexham sits on clay over sandstone and coal.
Wales is mild and wet. Rain helps new turf root, as long as the ground drains and isn't saturated when the turf goes down.

When to lay turf
Spring and autumn are the best times to lay; laying waits only for ground that is too wet to work.
