DRAE prnl. El Salv. y Hond. Dicho de un terreno: Cubrirse de zacate (‖ hierba).
Si se trata de poner césped, turf es la palabra, pero si se trata de poner arbustos etc, no hay palabra específica.

: Si se trata de poner cesped, yo no utilizaría nunca "turf". Esto se relaciona más con turba en inglés. Quedaría muy feo.

Perhaps "grass" wd be a better word, since I don't visualize a lawn.

Patricia Rosas
: there are tons of hits for "how to lay turf" so as far as I'm concerned that's a perfectly acceptable option!

Muriel Vasconcellos
: Your use of turf is correct: (I took a course in turf management). Also 'plant', 'plant out' 'sow grass on' , or even 'landscape' if larger plants are contemplated as well.

Evans (X)
: In my view "laying turf" is absolutely the right expression. as Muriel says, "planting out" would be a good option if more than grass might be involved.

lay grass/place lawn
I think this would depend on the size of the area. Nowadays, neither lawn or grass are sown. They are laid directly and due to their quick-growing roots, they grip onto the earth below.

Si esto es por motivos estéticos, sin duda yo no pondría "turf", que se relaciona más con la turba en inglés.
