you should have preped the soil before putting down the turf. What does your soil sample tell ya you need as far as lime? I tell people you really only got one chance to get the soil right. If you have not applied any fert then you will need to put it out.Cut the turf when it grows 50% higher from when it was installed.

I will not have the driver remove the turf from the truck until I inspect them. If it is not right I will refuse the order.

Once the turf roots you may not be able to tell. Hope this helps, but may be a little late. I woould still get a soil sample and find out what you will need to do from that.
