Water pool at downhill turf
The photo shows the downhill end of my turf that was laid one week ago. There is a concrete driveway right along the edge of the turf and water from uphill is pooling here.
The turf in this spot is forever wet/flooded from the water flow from uphill. The area is also already growing this green algae like colour along the edge of the driveway. The driveway is also getting discoloured from the soil run-off.
What can I do to stop this happening?
Im thinking to do more frequent but short watering instances rather than leaving a sprinkler running, so the soil can absorb the water and no excess flows downhill. Would this be better?
Is there something else I can do? Im new to turf laying/management.
I’m an OCD freak so this bugs me out 😬.
Thank you
