    I'd wait a bit longer so it will take straight away. Are you putting any irrigation in?

    kev if you don't get frosts and can water it now should be ok but if you have been driving cars on the ground i would suggest trying to loosen the soil a bit before planting so the roots can penetrate better but remember the most important thing is after laying it make sure you mow it high at least 52 mm probably closer to 64-70 that's 52mm=7,64mm=9,70mm=10 notch numbers on the hondas
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Each stage. I gave them an overall price but then broke it up into sections- cleanup 1st, then sleepers, then plants, mulch, and turf with sprinklers.

    Probably about 2-3 hours. I met with them for about an hour on site, then worked out which plants and how many, how much mulch, turf, sleepers, clearing away all the rubbish and getting rid of it. Looked up the price of a big 9m bin and put it all together. I also attached images of the plants I was going to use so they know what I am talking about.
