Compo 10,328 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 It does take longer and should really be left until after a few cuts, preferably a couple of months, so that the roots can spread and condsolidate. If you want an instant lawn then you are doing the right thing by laying turf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Iv been quoted £47 for a 23x15ft garden.. Would you say thats fairly cheap? Using a company thats had quite alot of good feedback too. Im not sure how long im going to be living here so i dont want to be spending too much but i miss having a garden to relax in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I've not done any turfing so my judgement is not the best you'll get but it sounds ok to me. Just looked at Scottish prices and it's over £100 for your size! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piggy and babs 544 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 hi jackson dont molly coddle them but neither of them like going out much and dont really enjoy pubs like there dad none of them drink. as for making them too cumfy no we get on and do our indervidual things they cook for themselfs and i dont go into there rooms more a finatial thing the only thing i do for them is take there washing to the laundrette when i take mine if its not in the bathroom with the dirty washing it dont get done and they have to do there own. but i dont think i will ever get rid of them either but in some ways thats good cause they help with things like going to shops for us and help dave with heavy lifting and stuff like that so its good for us too sometimes. and the eldest is also my other designated driver so if for any reason dave carnt drive paul can always drive us were we need to go.
