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.


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

Sure. Have you used them?

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.

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?
