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 .

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
