The Hidden Nightmare of DIY Turfing
When homeowners decide to dig up their old lawn themselves, they drastically underestimate the sheer volume and weight of the waste. Removing just 2 inches of old grass and roots from a standard 50 Sqm garden generates over a tonne of heavy, wet, muddy waste. You cannot simply put this in your council wheelie bin.
Your Disposal Options
- Composting: You can stack old turf upside down in a dark corner of the garden. Over 1 to 2 years, it will break down into rich compost. However, this takes up massive space and looks unsightly.
- Skip Hire: You can hire a skip, but soil and turf are incredibly heavy. A standard builder's skip will cost hundreds of pounds, and you still have to manually wheelbarrow tonnes of mud into it.
