Turf has been dugup with a good level of soil on the grass and in strips. About half ready to collect today or Saturday. The rest on Easter Sunday or Monday, so you could take it and re-lay it at your place and water it for a virtually instant lawn. (Hoping that it will take root and grow.)

Pick up will be from Longhurst in Halswell.

If you are interested in this, let me know.
