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 .

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
