Default Turf or Seed?

I'd got for turf every time. It costs more, but it's so much less hassle.

I agree with this and have done it myself. But do be sure to find a
reputable company so that you get a lawn that at least starts weed
free. I seem to remember someone on here a while ago complaining that a
turf lawn had been laid that produced a lovely crop of weeds a few
weeks later! Word of mouth is the best recommendation, IMO. If Mo
tells us the area in which he lives, there may be people here who can
offer recommendations.
