Cost to turn over and lay turf

Question

I have a very small front garden. I would like it sorted out as in a fairly bad shape so I guess dug and turned over, with new turf . I was just quoted £560.00. Seems a lot ?

I personally don’t think that’s a bad price 
You have one man’s labour for the day and materials 
He may have a labourer to help 
Rubbish away 
Admin for the job

Seems a fair price

Charlie · Answer

I think that’s a very competitive quote you’ve got to take in consideration to dig turn and lay new turf your looking at at least £40-£50pm2 at least plus other factors ease of access base prep etc 
I think they with labour  its  very well priced but to assure  yourselves obtain a few quotes and compare them

Putting in turf is expensive. I recommend buying a packet of grass seeds. Slightly till soil and water for best results. Put out plenty as some will be eaten by birds, and some might not germinate. Many people have nice lawns and never laid turf, grass can just grow. If your garden doesn't have the right conditions for grass the turf won't last anyway. If it's in bad shape might just need strimming and cutting away weeds. I think turf is a waste of money. If its a small garden should be easier to maintain.

It all depends on the meterage and the state of the ground but seems fair if all the materials are provided etc

Hi, I would say this is about right as it would take 2 men a day to complete with wages coming to at least £300 then add cost of turf they are probably walking away with £100 profit which would cover overheads.

All depending on the labour requirements to level the ground where the money is going

As a consumer your safety lies in receiving 2 or 3 quotes so you can then judge .

This may be a bit expensive depending on the state of the garden

Shane · Answer

When you say small how small we talking? Depending on area your living in costs varies for material,

Re-turfing as lots of prep work involved to ensure the ground is good and the turf takes.
