Laying turf takes an afternoon. What you are paying for is the day before it.
Turfing is quoted per garden on area, ground preparation, topsoil, access and disposal. Preparation is the largest and most variable element, which is why two gardens of identical size can be quoted very differently.
We do not publish a fixed price list for turfing, because ground preparation varies far more between gardens than the turf itself does.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 set-up and access do not scale with area, small gardens often have worse access, and complicated shapes waste turf disproportionately.
Often, where a garden has been built on, cleared of rubble or scraped back. Turf needs a decent rooting depth to establish.
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.
Autumn or spring. The cost is similar but establishment needs far less watering.
You can, and it reduces the cost — but preparation decides whether the lawn establishes, so it needs doing thoroughly.
