What made the difference

The key takeaway
For a lawn beside a pool, the existing hard surfaces and planted edges help define the work. A close fit gives the new turf a clear boundary.
Caring for the new lawn
Keep poolside foot traffic off the new turf while it takes root and check that watering reaches the edges as well as the centre.
