I have a standard reply when I have to cancel work because of weather/employee no show/ my illness or mechanical breakdown.

 

“The tree has waited a hundred years for us, it’ll wait a week longer”

 

Its a different story if peeps are without running water, roof is leaky or waste water is   In their garden.

 

 

 

I'd take it if the excuse wasn't 'I'd forgot I've got to take my lad to foootbal in the morning", if you don't want the job tell me. Like the fella I rang.

The geezer probably got a better job come in .turf laying isn’t hard anyway main thing is to get newly cut  fresh rolls and get ground prepared before the turf arrives .10m2 not big area

Remember the basic rule, green side up and you can't go far wrong

Turfing is pretty much the easiest thing to do, and looks instantly brilliant however it’s laid. Just do it yourself eggs - as long as everything is level before you start and it gets watered once laid you can’t really go wrong. Alternate the direction of laying to get instant stripes, and butt the rolls up tightly together to avoid gaps if it’s left to dry out. Piece of cake, I wouldn’t poontang around waiting for someone to chuck 10m down personally.

Alternate the joints like brickwork too.

This garden is about 10m2.
It's my mates, took us 2 of us about 2 hours in total.

That's including clearance and installing pathway.

Eggs I have only just seen this.
I have to appologise mate, I didn't realise it was you, I heard you say from Arbtalk but not who you were.
I'm going to guess it was Matt B who cancelled ?
If you want to do it yourself I am happy to run them over for you.
Laying turf is a doddle, getting the ground ready is the worst part.
