Oh he definately will. I have spoken to his wife who does all the admin work for the "company". I am like a dog with a bone... if he doesnt show i will phone them every hour. On the hour. The thing that worries me is that he admitted to the lumps and bumps just after he laid the turf and that...

It was cash but i have texts and emails tracking back. Hes coming on the 8th June, not sure what hes going to do though!

The lumps are over 2/3 of the full lawn i would say. So for a freshly laid lawn- if you walked over it- would you expect to notice any lumps/bumps? Or should be be poker straight right after it has been laid? The turf was sourced by myself and he ordered and paid for.

I seen him raking and using the rotovator yeh. I would say the lumps are very noticable when you walk on them. It didnt rain for 7 days so i had to water, its been good weather up here- shock lol

Amazing there mate, amazing!! <claps>

He had an electric rotovator and raked the full area. So as far as i know, it was prep'd.

I would appreciate some helpful posts that possibly help me out?

That doesnt help does it... The turf was £150 and he charged £150 for a days work. Which i thought was fair. No?

Hi all! I have an area of 65m2 that i paid a gardener to lay turf. It needed level quite abit so i thought i would pay a professional to do it. Got some "premier turf". It cost £300 all in. So anyway, after he laid it... i walked over the lawn to inspect it and it had loads of lumps and...

I just pressure washed it there and it came off ok. might give it a light sand after i have done the full fence.

New timber isn't an option unfortunately. I need to keep the old stuff. Anybody else?

Hi all! I hope someone can help! We have just moved in and getting some new fence either side of our stairs. We want to stain this cuprinol's "Autumn Gold". The problem is that the existing fencing we have, that goes round the garden, is already stained a greeny colour. I assume if i...

I noticed today that the back fence posts are wobbily anyway. So i think they will need replaced anyway... So do you think the raised bit at the back served any purpose?

Can anyone see a reason why I couldn't knock away the raised bit at the back? Is it there to retain the soil from the hill behind? Used for drainage?

He sent me a message on faceboo saying: "Sorry I am a one person outfit unfortunately I don't have that type of money to pay out on materials. Sorry again" He doesnt have £400 to pay out in materials? I dont trust this guy anymore. It doesnt sound secure. Told him where to go (politely!!)...

I know that's what worries me...! I just wanted to check I am not being unreasonable?

I got a quote from a decking company for £850 for the decking i want. Which is a good price i would say. He says he needs half up front for building materials as he is a "one man company". The rest on completion. Is this normal??

I got a decent price for the decking so think i am getting someone in to do it. Going to put up the fence and gates myself though. Any tips on this, looking at the pic? It will be a fence either side of the stairs. Would I be better mounting the posts on the existing concrete wall? Or...

Hi, Thanks for your comments. From you information, its definately below 300mm and it doesnt take up more than 50% of the garden. So i won't need planning permission. My wife works for the council anyway so we have direct access :-) Any help with the rest of the questions please?

Hello all, I have been wanting to do something with our back garden since we moved in 6 weeks ago. My daughter is running about now so want to make it simple and safe. 1. I want to get decking at the back where the raised bit is. and one step from one side to the other. 2. I want to...
