The True Cost of a New Lawn
When homeowners search for 'turf laying cost', they often expect a simple price per square meter. The truth is, the turf itself is the cheapest part of the job. The real cost—and the difference between a lawn that lasts 15 years versus a lawn that dies in 6 months—comes down to the ground preparation.
What factors influence your quote?
- Excavation Volume: Removing old mossy grass requires standard digging, but removing buried builder's rubble or heavy clay requires machinery and multiple grab-hires to remove the waste legally.
- Topsoil Depth: A healthy lawn needs 4 to 6 inches of premium screened topsoil. The deeper the necessary sub-base, the more tonnage we must import.
- Access: A front garden is fast to turf. Dragging 10 tons of soil and waste through a narrow terraced house hallway requires significantly more labor and time.
Beware the 'Builder's Special'
If a landscaper quotes you a suspiciously cheap price, they are almost certainly laying thin turf directly over compacted, dead soil. It will look green for 4 weeks before turning into a waterlogged swamp.
