Buying turf online?

Ok, so I have a small 5x2m section of garden that I am reclaiming back from the 3 meter deep border where the dog likes to have a pap. Instead of seeding this patch, I am going to turf it as it will be quicker and get the area cover from the pooch as the last spot he just couldn't resist!

Where is the best place to buy turf from? Online? 11m2? Thats looking about £150 plus!!!

Edit: It might be that expensive as I am looking for turf that can handle the shade, as this part of the garden is fairly shady.

Not sure where you have been looking for turf or what grade but its £2.10 a roll what I get so that £21 for what you need (10 rolls) even b & q is £3 a roll.

You need somewhere local to you to get turf from and the right sort or delivery will kill the price if you can't pick it up.

Look in the Yellow Pages, turf suppliers/merchants. Then start making some calls quoting the area you need to cover.

I've had the budget turf from http://www.onlineturf.co.uk/
Several times (it's always on 'sale').

Done over 200m2 with it, and very impressed with the quality. Standard delivery is free too.

Cheers, I was looking at them yesterday, so good to see someone else has gone with the same stuff. Edit, and Windlesham (one of their stores) is round the corner from us!

Another vote for online turf..... Ordered from them a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed.

Did you end up buying some?

I didn't end up buying from that specific company as the delivery costs put the price right up, so instead, the local Wyevale garden centre was stocking the same turf but at 10m2 for 40. So I picked up some of that, and got it laid at the weekend, and now the garden looks much bigger! So cheers for the rolawn recommendation.
