English term or phrase: sprigged area
Sprigged turf areas can be watered for 10 minutes per zone for the first 60 days after planting.
Watering during establishment is very important, especially for sprigged areas. Never allow the surface of a newly sprigged area to become dry. This will necessitate daily waterings unless rainfall fills the need for the day.

superficie/périmètre (de gazon) repiqué
Explanation:
Je serais plus précis que Bertrand du fait du contexte : le gazon peut se semer, se transplanter en mottes ou se planter par repiquage de plants. Sprig a une valeur verbale ici, à mon sens, qui établit cette différence.

Turf sprig: “Turf sprig” shall mean a live plant, stolon, crown, or section cut from stolonifera plants used as turf. (http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/901:6-7-03)

Une demi douzaine d’employés, assis à même le sol, s’activent à arracher les mauvaises herbes, tandis que d’autres repiquent des plants de gazon à des endroits qui méritent d’être encore retouchés.
