The surface area matters, but it is rarely the whole story. Access, waste removal, old lawn removal, edging, drainage corrections, and whether the site needs new levels all change the final quote.
Gardens with awkward access or a lot of existing landscaping usually take longer and need more manual handling. That is one reason a small garden can sometimes cost more per square metre than a large open site.
A complete job usually includes excavation or strip-out, sub-base preparation, membrane, fitting the turf, jointing, securing the perimeter, infill brushing, and waste removal.
If you are comparing quotes, check that the groundwork specification is actually comparable. The cheapest quote often cuts the base preparation, which is exactly where drainage and longevity problems begin.
The fastest route is to send photos, rough measurements, and your postcode. That lets us sense-check access, edging, and the likely groundwork before a site visit.
If the garden has pets, children, a pool edge, or heavy use, mention that up front because the turf specification and build approach may change.
If you already know roughly what you need, send us the photos and details. If not, a site survey is the cleaner next step.
