Need a new lawn laid

Recommended Posts

It all depends on the state of your lawn i.e if it need clearing of old lawn, rotivate, levelling e.c.t. This would take to gardeners cost x 2 then machinery if needed to rent with is normally under ?100 or if doing by hand more days more cost.


So in reality for a good job between ?690 - ?1000. HOWEVER if it was just to supply the turf without having to do any preparation & the site is ready for the lawn & gardener just have to lay, it would normally cost ?140 - ?230 depending on area size to lay lawn ONLY.


Hopes this helps

I ordered 28sq metres of lawn from turfland.co.uk in Feb for ?103.98, delivered within 2 days of ordering.

Took 10 mins to carry through house and less than an hour to lay.


So the ?800 quote you got (if it was just for laying the turf) was unreasonable.


Unless you want a prize lawn this job shouldn't require perfect prep and therefore excessive costs.

no way a lawn can be done in a day ,it would take a whole day to level off and prep it for the turfs,, average sized lawn, labour costs would be around the ?450 mark then cost of the turfs, prep may be more depending on the quality of the soil .but of course thete are cheaper quotes but then thats where you start to run in to problems ,a job cost what a job costs there no such thing as a cheap price .

Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
