Are you considering transforming your outdoor space with lush green turf? At VU Landscaping, we understand that one of the most common questions our clients have is, “How much does turfing cost?” Let’s break it down for you.
Factors Influencing Turfing Costs:
- Area to be Turfed: The size of the area you want to turf is a significant factor in determining the overall cost. For instance, a 100m² turfing job would require specific considerations.
- Preparation: Proper preparation is key to achieving a beautiful, long-lasting lawn. This includes tasks such as clearing the area, levelling the ground, and preparing the soil. Based on our calculations, preparation for a 100m² area typically takes around 2 labour days, costing £600.
- Installation: Installing the turf requires skill and precision. Again, for a 100m² area, you can expect around 2 labour days, amounting to £600.
- Turf: The cost of the turf itself is a significant component. For mid-range quality turf, you can expect to pay around £400 for a 100m² area.
- Additional Costs: Other expenses such as equipment hire, fuel, and waste removal should also be factored in. For example, equipment hire and fuel might total around £100, while waste removal could amount to £300.
Total Cost Calculation:
Adding up these expenses for a 100m² area, the total cost comes to £2000,excluding VAT. When divided by the area (100m²), the cost per square meter is £20, excluding VAT.
Variables to Consider:
It’s important to note that several variables can influence the final cost:
- Turf Quality: We’ve based our calculations on mid-range turf quality. However, premium turfs can cost significantly more, sometimes reaching £7-8 per square meter.
- Additional Services: Factors such as the need to remove old grass or supply soil can also affect the overall cost. These services may incur additional charges, which we can discuss based on your specific requirements.
