Ellie78 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'm interested too. We were quoted 800quid to lay a new lawn (20 square metres)Was this a con or the norm?

Stephy BB Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43789-need-a-new-lawn-laid/#findComment-743633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 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.

Ellie78 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yes, it was to remove the old lawn and lay a new one. 800 seemed a little steep, so we haven't pursued it. 600 maybe. But, seeing as it's an expense we don't really need to burden ourselves with..., Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43789-need-a-new-lawn-laid/#findComment-743644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 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 .
