HI I have had new turf laid 2 weeks ago but have a patch that has gone brown. Any suggestions as to what I can use to repair it.

The usual reason for turf going brown is lack of water. You could try drenching it first to see if that revives it. Otherwise you would need to scratch the surface and sow fresh grass seed into the area. Welcome to the site by the way.

Did you lay the turf yourself or was it done for you? I would check carefully that the old turf is in close contact with the soil underneath. Also it might be worth taking a garden fork and spiking down through the turf to the ground underneath to see if the turf has been put down on a compacted surface.
