Okay firstly I'm over the moon I've found this forum. I love forums and have been hunting for a good DIY one for ages. So here is my first of many posts (and replies)!
I've stripped back the garden (almost) to bare earth as it was a complete overgrown mess. I now have a blank canvas and at some point I will want to have a patio built but I don't currently have the funds due to saving for my wedding! So in the interim I plan to create a lawn over the whole garden. The area I wish to cover is about 4m X 12m.
What are the pros/cons of turf versus seeding? I am assuming turfing is quicker but more expensive. If I go for turf what's the most place to source it cheaply? If I go for seed how long can i realistically expect to wait until I can say "I've got a lawn"?
I'd appreciate any tips/advice,
K
