"Decent turf is £4 a metre roll up. I tend to level the area with some fresh and decent topsoil that's been screened. Two days, for two people if including extra topsoil.
Or two people for one day if they are just laying the turf"
"Good morning,
For an accurate quote I would have to see the job in hand.
I would be happy to view it then get back to you with a quote.

Plus you need to take in to conciliation what quality turf you want want all depends on the pricing
