| Any advice on where to buy turf. I am thinking of buying online but am
willing to collect if necessary.
Don't need that much about 32 square metres.
I am located in Winchester, Hampshire.
TIA

You need to get it locally as it doesn't keep.
I found the rolawn stuff was good:

Thanks,
Of all the online retailers they are by far the most expensive. Don't know
how much they are if collected though.

Possibly, I didn't buy it online, just through a gardener's trade account.
Might be worth phoning your local stockist to see what they can do.

Look in Yellow Pages. We had several choices and were very happy with the
one we used. We had a choice of turf at good prices, they gave advice about
what would be suitable for our needs. We had to wait for a few days until
some was cut and sent to them (it wasn't locally produced).
Look around and ask questions, say what you need it for, there's grass and
grass.

I think Butser Hill turf will be fairly local to you, no?

I am in Portsmouth and I have used Butser Turf a couple of times, when I
replaced my front and back lawn.
A good company to deal with and more than happy to give advice if you tell
them what you are looking for and what kind of lawn you need (one for the
kids to play on or one that will look like a bowling green in a landscape
garden) they will be able to sort you out with something.
I do not think they are the cheapest, but then with lawns you get what you
pay for, so I can certainly recommend Butser Turf.

I can vouch for Rolawn turf.
Done my whole garden in it last year and everyone who saw it could not
believe it looked so good. It was a perfect lawn.
Looking a bit shabby now, but that's because I haven't done anything to
it yet after the winter. I'm sure with a bit of love and care, this time
in a month or two it will be perfect again.

also worth using the Turf Growers Association website www.turfgrass.co.uk
they all subscribe to a 'code' of quality for the turf to be members,
also lets you see who will deliver to your area and links to websites.
I used one from that website https://www.cowplainturf.co.uk/buy/index.cfm
based over in Waterlooville, delivered 125m2 over to East Dorset the
day after

Thanks for that. Did you get their own Wessex general Turf or the Q lawn
one? Was it good quality?
