Turf laying covers the supply and installation of new grass across your lawn, garden beds, or outdoor areas — from ground preparation through to laying and finishing. On Borigandee, describe your job, compare quotes from ID-verified gardeners near you, and pay only when you approve the finished result.

Turf Laying in your area — New Lawn, Done Right

What's Covered

When you post a turf-laying job on Borigandee, pros can quote for:

Supply and laying of new turf or grass rolls across your specified area (quoted per square metre)
Ground preparation — clearing existing dead or patchy grass, levelling, and light soil conditioning ready for the new turf
Cutting turf to fit irregular borders, curves, and edges
Initial watering and settling once the turf is laid
Advice on the first few days of care so the lawn takes properly

Typically need a separate quote: Deep soil remediation or significant re-grading of sloped ground; irrigation system installation; retaining walls or edging borders; ongoing lawn maintenance after the new turf establishes. If you need any of these, mention them in your job description and a pro can quote for the full scope together.

How Borigandee Works

Describe your job. Tell us roughly how many square metres, what the ground is like now, and any access or grass-type preferences. The more detail you give, the more accurate the quotes you'll get.
Get up to 5 quotes from verified pros. Gardening pros review your job and send their quotes directly to you — no middleman, no negotiating on the spot.
Compare and book. Review each pro's quote, rating, and profile, then book the one that fits your job and your budget.
Payment held safely until you approve. Your payment is held securely and released to the pro only on the day you confirm the work is done. The pro is paid the same day you approve — so both sides are treated fairly.

Verified Pros, Real Trust

Every gardening pro on Borigandee is ID-verified before they can quote on any job. That's the baseline for every single pro on the platform, with no exceptions.

Beyond that, individual pros earn higher vetting tiers as they build their record: Reference checked pros have had their professional references reviewed (available at Bronze tier and above); Background checked pros have passed a formal criminal-record check (available at the top tier only). You can see each pro's verification badges on their profile before you book.

If something about the finished work isn't right, our dispute process is there to sort it out. Depending on what's agreed, that can mean a full release, a partial release, or a refund — handled through the platform so neither party is left without recourse.

How Pricing Works

Turf laying is priced per square metre, so the main driver of your total cost is the area you want covered. The condition of the ground matters too — a flat, cleared lawn costs a pro less to prepare than a patchy, uneven surface, and that's reflected in the quote.

Grass type can also affect the price. Some varieties cost more to source; some take more skill to lay cleanly around edges and curves. When you describe your job, mentioning any preferences or constraints gives pros the information they need to quote accurately.

Every quote you receive through Borigandee is a clear, itemised number for the scope you described. There's no haggling at the gate, no surprise add-ons revealed on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do quotes work — do I have to commit the moment I receive one?

No. Quotes come in as pros review your job, and you can take your time comparing them. You only commit when you choose to book a specific pro. Nothing is charged or held until you actively confirm a booking.

Is my payment safe while the job is in progress?

Yes. Once you book and pay, your money is held safely on the platform. It is not released to the pro until you confirm that the turf has been laid to your satisfaction. The pro is paid the same day you approve — so there's a clear, fair trigger for everyone.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

If there's a problem with the finished lawn, don't approve the job yet and raise a dispute through the platform. Our dispute process reviews the situation and can result in a full release, a partial release, or a refund depending on what's agreed. Payment doesn't leave your hold until that's resolved.

How do I know a pro is who they say they are?

Every pro is ID-verified before they can use the platform — that's a requirement, not optional. Individual pros can also carry Reference checked (Bronze tier and above) or Background checked (top tier only) badges, which you can see on their profile. You're comparing real, verified people, not anonymous listings.

Can I set up ongoing lawn care after the turf is established?

Absolutely. Once your new lawn is in and growing, you can post a separate job — or discuss it directly with the pro who laid the turf — to set up a regular mowing and maintenance schedule. Many pros who do turf installation also offer routine lawn care, so it's worth asking when you book.

Once your new lawn is established, regular upkeep keeps it healthy. You can schedule recurring lawn maintenance through Borigandee — post a follow-up job for mowing, edging, and seasonal care whenever it suits you.
