Try Tillers Turf in Crews Hill

I got all mine from http://www.onlineturf.co.uk and they delivered it to my garden the next day. Great selection too and loads of worms in teh soil, so good stuff. Shame Three Valleys decided to impose a hosepipe ban the following day and as a result, it's wrecked now!

Doea anyone have any recommendations? The garden needs a fair bit of work so we'd rather get someone in to do the entire turf job from scratch. Thanks

OK that didn't work....it didn't give me the option to mail you. So here goes, Mr Gemipicorn is a landscape gardener and does this type of work. I know I cant advertise on here without a slap on the wrist so all I will say is if you are still in need of someone email me through my profile. Hope you don't object to that admin [:)]

New England Landscapes in Cole Green are pretty good too - ask for Nigel Duff - the boss man x

How terrible of Grassroots. Sorry for giving you the recommendation...if I ever see them I will speak to them about it. Word of mouth is the best way of getting work and if they cannot be bothered to turn up or phone to re-arange a recommendation then they will not get my business anymore either.

Hi all - we are from Grassroots based in Watton-at-Stone (http://www.grass-rootslandscaping.co.uk) and new to the forum, but just wanted to double check the 'Grassroots' you are referring to. I wanted to clarify that we have never not turned up to a job and think that you must be confusing us with another landscaper. We are committed to providing an efficient and personal service and wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise. We do hope that you will bear us in mind for any future projects. Kind regards, all at Grassroots.
