Best to speak to Tim at http://www.turfsales.co.uk/ and ask for his best price. Tim is very fair and you can't fault his service or the product. Not sure what delivery charges to your neck of the woods would be! Tim does me a very good deal and I wouldn't use any other turf company.

Not too bad - never managed to get a perfect straight line and not for want of trying!. I found you tend to go a few cms either side of the "line" and it just needs a rake to pull the turf back in line.

How easy is it go get them to roll out "straight"? I guess that there isn't much margin for error or if it is that easy to correct any mistakes!

Fork lift the rolls close to position then a "rolling machine" is used to pick them up. The one we used you have to tip it forward to hook the rolls on then pull the arm down so it goes on all three wheels. Quick & fairly easy for the first few roles thereafter they feel like they weight a ton! And a word of advice, don't try pulling the machine fully loaded up a slight hill!! :-)
