Your Delivery

Turf Online aims to give its customers the best possible experience by delivering the best quality products for sale in the UK. Therefore, all our perishable products are harvested fresh to order the day before delivery!

Delivery charges and services vary by different types of turf and delivery location. Charges are confirmed at checkout before payment. If your order includes grass turf, topsoil, Wildflower Turf or Sedum mats, you can choose your delivery day. You should arrange for live products to be delivered on the day you will lay them. Reducing the amount of time the product is stored means significantly less potential nuisance when it comes to installation; certain issues will not have had a chance to rise. All other products are delivered within 5 working days (or usually sooner!).

How Is Your Product Delivered?

We recommend that you only make arrangements for tradespeople to carry out work on your behalf after your turf or other products have been delivered.

PLEASE NOTE: Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum Mats and bulk Bag products are delivered on a pallet and can only be delivered to the kerbside.

Most of our products for sale in the UK will be delivered by being transported by a pallet courier that primarily uses 18-tonne rigid trucks that are built for reaching the majority of UK addresses. However, it is possible that your delivery could be made on a larger vehicle. If access or other restrictions prevent vehicles above a certain size reaching your address, or there are other offloading or parking restrictions which could affect the delivery, let us know in the delivery notes section of checkout so that special delivery arrangements can be made. Please make sure you double check the delivery postcode and address carefully as after your order has been shipped, it is likely we will not be able to make any amendments to your order or address.

Delivery is unloaded using a manual pallet trolley which is lowered to the road by the tail lift on the truck. Unfortunately, we do not offer Hiab (truck-mounted crane) deliveries. To offload the pallet, the surface must be flat and level. Since Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum and topsoil can be heavy, and the pallet trolley pulled by the driver has small wheels, pallets cannot be delivered onto soil, grass or gravel – a tarmac or paved surface is required.

Kerbside delivery means that our products for sale in the UK is delivered as close as possible to the delivery address you provide. Our helpful drivers will do their best to place your delivery where you wish, such as a driveway, but this is at their discretion. If your delivery address is hard to find or the property is a new build, consider using what3words to pinpoint your delivery location. More information on what3words can be found in our Help Centre.

What Issues Could Arise With Delivery?

If your product delivery cannot be made due to a reason you failed to make us aware of, the full cost of distribution and products will still be charged to you. We are proud that most of our turf deliveries arrive on time. Sometimes, circumstances beyond our control (extreme weather, road accidents, vehicle breakdowns or IT failures) can delay delivery, but we will make every effort to keep you updated in such an event.

SuDS and Slopes SuDS and Slopes is wildflower turf that blends of 32 native species and grasses. They all enjoy a low maintenance care regime. Strongly rooted grasses aid soil stabilisation whilst flowering plants bring an extra layer of attractiveness. So this product is ideal for slopes, banks, damp soils and the margins of ponds, streams or ‘Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems’ (SuDS). So SuDS and Slopes offers a real boost to biodiversity in wildflower turf areas. Insects, amphibians, small mammals and birds truly appreciate this wonderful source of food and shelter. Not only that but as it needs no chemical treatments, artificial fertilisers or frequent cutting it creates wonderful wildlife habitats. Please note this product does need low fertility soil. Key Points Perennial plants – no need to over-seed, repopulate or replant (unless you want to). Very easy to install as the ground-stabilising blanket is pre-populated with living plants. So simply place each slab on prepared ground, peg down, water and walk away. Then please keep irrigated until plants are well established. Quick to establish. The combination of our wildflower turf matting system and choice of vigorous rooting plants will immediately start to stabilise soil on banks and slopes. High proportion of flowering plants compared with rush or sedge based stabilisation solutions. Flowering Time: May – July (depending on local weather conditions). SuDS and Slopes is mown before despatch to minimise damage to plants. It will not be in flower when it is delivered. It takes two slabs of SuDS and Slopes to cover 1 square metre of prepared soil and weighs up to 25Kg. So, we recommend having two people to install it. Your SuDS and Slopes will change appearance from year to year. The species mix is influenced by microclimate, weather conditions and the creatures that visit regularly. It’s a truly biodiverse and adaptable product. What is SuDS and Slopes? The Meadowmat® range of wildflower turf products from Turfonline are landscaping materials used to establish dense planting very quickly. Some would describe Meadowmat® wildflower turf as a slab of wildflowers for your garden but we think it’s much more than that. And SuDS and Slopes is a prime example. SuDS and Slopes combines the needs of engineers with those of ecologists. A layer of biodegradable geotextile (coir based) allows fast “planting” and establishment of a diverse mix of plant species. It starts working from the moment it is placed on the ground and its effects continue to improve. The planted layer immediately reduces any erosion from rainfall and as roots establish and develop the soil is further stabilised. At the same time, the vegetation attracts and supports a wide range of fauna. Maintenance The maintenance regime for SuDS and Slopes is uncomplicated and fits easily with Health and Safety practice. Simply mow once a year and remove all of the clippings. All species in SuDS and Slopes are non-toxic. This product lends itself to grazing by sheep, goats, geese or other animals – it’s a wonderful conservation product. Detailed information on installing and maintaining SuDS and Slopes is available in the “Help & Advice” section of our website. Coverage Each slab of SuDS and Slopes measures 500mm (19.6″) wide by 1000mm (39.2″) long so it takes two slabs to cover 1m². Please note this product is sold per square metre.

In the unlikely event that your product does not arrive in good condition please get in touch immediately with photos showing the issue. The actual percentage of each species contained may vary due to environmental factors. Turfonline makes every effort to ensure wildflower products are free from weeds and pests, however due to the natural way in which these products are grown we cannot guarantee they are 100% pest free on delivery. It is unlikely that you will see every species that is listed. The variation of species present has been developed to suit a wide variety of soils and environmental conditions. This will result in a product that will adapt to individual settings which may mean some species are more successful than others. Contains annual and perennial species. If installed after March many species may not flower during the first year.
