Please check your delivery access before ordering
Turf is delivered on a pallet to the nearest safe and accessible kerbside location.
Most deliveries are made using a large articulated lorry. The pallet is unloaded
using a manual pump truck, which can only travel over hard, flat and level ground.
It cannot be moved over gravel, grass, uneven surfaces, slopes or steps, and the
driver cannot take it into gardens, garages or buildings.
Please contact us before placing your order if:
- Access to your address is narrow or restricted.
- A smaller delivery vehicle may be needed.
- The unloading point is not flat and hard-standing.
- You are unsure whether delivery will be possible.
Deliveries usually take place Tuesday to Thursday, between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
We recommend arranging delivery the day before you intend to install the turf.
For advice, please call 0800 085 4399 or email shop@meadowmania.co.uk.
