Turf for lawn repairs and bare patches
Fixing a bald patch, a worn path or a dog spot? Buy just the rolls you need and collect them from our yard. Collection is free, from a single roll.
Patch a lawn in five steps
- Cut out the damaged area into a neat square or rectangle with a half-moon edger or spade.
- Loosen the soil underneath and add a little topsoil so the new turf sits level with the old lawn.
- Lay the new turf the day you collect it, pushing the edges tight against the existing grass.
- Firm it down with the back of a rake or by walking on a plank.
- Water it well and keep it moist for the first couple of weeks.
How much to buy
Each roll covers about 1m² and measures about 2.4m × 0.4m, so you need about one roll per m². Measure the patch, add 5–10% for offcuts (we add 5% unless you choose otherwise) and round up to whole rolls. For a small patch, that's usually one spare roll.
- £4.75: a roll, about 1m²
- From 1 roll: free collection from our yard
- From £29: delivery, 20 rolls or more
- 2pm: order by, Mon to Fri, for the next working day
A new patch can look a slightly different shade from an older lawn for a few weeks. It blends in as it settles and is mown.
Patch questions
Can I buy just one roll?
Yes. You can collect from just one roll, and collection is free. Delivery starts at 20 rolls.
Will the new turf match my lawn?
It's a hard-wearing rye and fescue mix, which suits most garden lawns. Expect a slight colour difference at first that fades as it settles.
Should I seed or turf a patch?
Turf gives you a finished patch straight away and can be walked on gently within a few weeks. Seed is cheaper but takes longer and needs protecting from birds.
