Answer

When can I first mow a new lawn?

Once rooted and around 5 to 8cm, a few weeks after laying; just the tips, on a high setting.

In short

Once new turf has rooted and reached around 5 to 8cm, usually a few weeks after laying, take just the tips off with a sharp blade on a high setting. Mowing too soon or too short sets it back, so it pays to wait until it has rooted.
