| Turf is an absolute doddle to lay if you can lift a few pounds, get down on your knees, and don't mind getting your hands dirty. Soil preparation is much more important and time-consuming, but you can also do that yourself. The soil proparation is what determines how good your lawn will look in a year's time and onwards, plus how flat it stays. P.S. I've seen "professionals" who just plonk the turf down on top of the existing rocks/clay/whatever. Looks great for about a month ;) |

| We were in a similar situation a few years ago - lawn was a mess, so we thought we'd re-turf it. Pretty hard work - partly because of all the rotovating/raking the soil to get it level and good for turfing.. we hired a petrol rotovator which was pretty useless on our clay-ey soil. And partly because the turves themselves are quite heavy, so just moving them into position is a bit knackering. But we went with http://www.onlineturf.co.uk/ who did everything as promised and were the cheapest we could find.. I suppose it depends on the size of your lawn - if it's a good size be prepared for some hard work! Melanie :) |

Hi, just found this post. We recently re-did our whole garden and found the how to guides on this site really useful.
We also purchased many products from them including the turf, soil and gravel as well as the membrane which we were advised by their staff to order - very glad we listened to their advice, not a weed in sight.
