Per square metre is the wrong unit. What you are buying is the ground preparation, and that does not scale neatly with area.
Turfing is quoted per garden on area, ground preparation, topsoil, access and disposal. Preparation is the largest and most variable element, which is why a per-metre figure would mislead you.
We do not publish a fixed price list for turfing, because ground preparation varies far more between gardens than the turf itself does. What we can do is explain what changes the number.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Clearing | Old turf, weeds, debris, roots |
| Ground works | Breaking compaction, levelling, drainage if needed |
| Topsoil | Imported where existing soil is poor or shallow |
| Preparation | Raking, firming, final levels |
| Turf and laying | The visible part, and the quickest |
| Disposal | Old turf, stones, rubble — heavy waste |
| Aftercare guidance | Watering and first-cut advice |

It is quoted per garden on area, ground preparation, topsoil, access and disposal. Preparation is the largest and most variable element.
Because preparation does not scale with area. A small garden with rubble beneath costs more than a large clean one, and access is a fixed overhead per job.
Often, where a garden has been built on, cleared of rubble or scraped back. Turf needs a decent rooting depth or it browns off in the first dry spell.
Rarely, compared with spending the same money on ground preparation. Ordinary turf on good ground outperforms good turf on poor ground.
Considerably. Turf and topsoil are heavy, everything is barrowed from the vehicle, and through-the-house access adds substantial time.
You can, and it reduces the cost — but preparation decides whether the lawn establishes, so it needs doing thoroughly.
Autumn or spring. The cost is similar but establishment needs far less watering, which makes them better value overall.
