Turf on stone and sand
We are due to have astro turf laid and have had the stone put down for it, well have the sand on it just before the astro is laid. The reason for astro turf is because we have dogs and we felt it would be better. However I've been reading today that astro turf gets a lot hotter in the summer than grass and may make it unusable, it can also bubble and shrink with the weather. If we were to change our minds and go for turf instead, could it be laid on top of the stone and sand or would we have to start again?

Cost of turfing lawn
The side of my rear garden had a membrane and small stones. The membrane had worn down and weeds took over. Both have been removed ( albeit some small stones in soil) . The ground has been tilled and most weeds removed. Still needs to be made level. . I am trying to work out costs for a turfing option vs seeding. I would like quotes to include a breakdown of cost of turf and labour. The size of the area is approx 100m2. Lawn can be delivered easily to the front. There is side access to the rear garden . There is ample parking with no restrictions.
