Lawn installation in Chișinău and across Moldova: roll turf ready in one day

When roll lawn makes sense (and when it doesn't)

Roll lawn is the right choice when you want an instant result: for a house you are selling, for a family celebration already on the calendar, or for a new yard with young children who can't wait 10 weeks for seeded grass to come up. It doesn't make sense on steep slopes (the rolls slide without anchoring), in heavily shaded areas (they die within 2 years) or for large areas on a small budget, where seeding costs 3 times less.

The 14 critical days

For the first 14 days the roots of the turf haven't yet taken hold in your soil. During that time the lawn needs watering twice a day in July–August and once a day in spring. No walking on it at all. At 14 days we do the first check: if the rolls have rooted, we switch to normal watering and a first light mow (leaving the grass at 6 cm).

Why turf quality matters

Reputable nurseries around Chișinău deliver rolls with a thick soil layer (3–4 cm), cut on the morning of delivery, with a species mix suited to the local climate. Cheap rolls come with thin soil (1.5 cm): they dry out quickly and die at the corners. We work with two vetted suppliers and choose based on moisture, age and species mix.
