More about lawn turf in Oldham
Turf for an Oldham lawn is cut fresh the day it goes out and delivered next-day, so it does not sit around drying. It is one premium grade at £4 per m2, a hard-wearing lawn that stands up to kids and dogs and still looks the part out front on a Chadderton semi. Add about 5% to your measurements to cover the cuts. A lot of gardens here back onto the moors or face north off the hillside, and turf wants decent light, so if the plot is heavily shaded ask us before ordering.
Returfing an old Oldham lawn usually means clearing tired grass off thin soil first, and Barrow Landscaping can handle the lot on a supply and lay job: strip it, level it, top it up with topsoil and lay the new turf. On the tight terraced streets around Werneth we carry rolls through the house where there is no rear gate, so let us know the access. Measure up in square metres and we will price it supplied only or turf supplied and laid.
We deliver across Oldham and the surrounding area: Chadderton, Hollinwood, Werneth, Failsworth and beyond (OL1, OL4, OL8, OL9).
Can I get next-day turf delivered in Oldham?
Yes. Turf is cut to order rather than kept in stock, so we take the order one day and it is on your Oldham garden the next. Get the measurements in early and we will have it cut for the next run out to OL.
My garden is north-facing and shady, will turf take?
We supply one premium lawn turf at £4 per m2, and like any turf it wants a few hours of decent light a day. Plenty of Oldham plots off the hillside and near the moor edge sit in shade and damp, so if yours is heavily shaded ring us before ordering and we will give you a straight answer.
Can I just buy turf and lay it myself?
Yes. We supply turf cut to order for you to take delivery of and lay yourself. Because it is cut fresh it needs laying within about a day, so have the ground prepared and ready before it arrives: dug over, levelled, raked to a fine tilth and firmed. If you want the ground doing too, that is what the supplied-and-laid option is for.
What does supplied and laid mean?
It means the whole job is handled, not just the turf. Barrow Landscaping comes out and measures, prepares the ground properly, strips any old lawn, levels it and brings in topsoil where it is needed, then lays fresh turf the day it is cut. You get a finished lawn rather than a pallet of turf to deal with. It is the option most people go for once they see the price difference against buying materials and hiring a rotavator.
When is the best time to lay turf?
Spring and autumn are ideal, when the ground is warm and there is usually enough rain to help it root. Turf can go down almost all year as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. Summer laying is fine but needs a strict watering routine while it establishes. We will be honest about timing when you enquire.
