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 .

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
