Returfing the garden
I have two bits of garden
5x7 and 4x7 so about 63m2 is needed to lay new turf Hardly needs any top soil at all and we have already landscaped to how we wanted saving thousands. I can buy the turf for £300ish or I can have a landscaper to do it for £670 What do you think? Is that a reasonable price? Part of me wants to do it myself and save the money but the other part doesn’t. |

Would it not be a lot cheaper to seed it?

I'd pay. To remove the old turf and take away will take time and effort (and probably a skip).
I think that price sounds fair. |

If it’s just a question of laying turf do it yourself, it’s a doddle, the prep is the hard bit.
My lawn is about 80m2, once the soil was level I laid the turf in an afternoon, easy job wouldn’t pay someone to do it |

I prepped a strip in the garden roughly 10x4 seeded it a month ago and I have already needed to mow it , it looks great and the seed cost me £6:99 for a box , we went around a lot of places looking at turf and it was disappointing.
Took about 3 hours all told ,Including hand sieving stones out and a good watering before and after. |

You've done the hard bit. Judging by the photo, laying the turf will be a doddle. I'd save the £370 and do it yourself. Shouldn't take more than a day to do.
