I have just had this discussion with a designer we do work for. Yes definitely the standard seems to have dropped. Having said that I don't envy any turf growers cutting in this weather. Brown patches? The extra cost of Rolawn turf should mean these problems do not occur.
Rolawn's turf is being cut thinner, has plastic mesh in to keep it together and doesn't look thick and lush anymore.
Thanks for the feedback Sam, Aye and Susan. I hadn't appreciated the other changes being made to Rolawn.
Would be interested to hear how Q lawn compares.
Cheers
I no longer use Rolawn after I had a bad experience with "sod death" which occurs when the turf gets overheated in the lorries. It looks fine when laying but soon dies. Rolawn refused to accept any responsibility but the supplier told me it had happened before and Rolawn always deny responsibility
Will let you know Jill :)
I thought you'd like to know I contacted Rolawn because I believe in the right of reply and I never want LJN to be seen as just a place to criticise.
I know Rolawn are monitoring this thread but I'm disappointed they haven't bothered to respond.
Do we take it that Rolawn take this thread as unacceptable criticism, they don't care or the are so smug it doesn't matter?
I had a similar experience a good year or so ago. Had a large turfing job, used Rolawn as I always did back then and the quality was very poor, noticeably thinner than normal.
So I switched, found a couple of local good suppliers on and haven't gone back since.
Robert has also added a thread:What's happened to Rolawn? http://www.landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/what-has-happend-...
Hi Phil,
I think we have to be fair to Rolawn here, and not expect them to reply instantly to forum threads. We do forget that large companies can't give what is, legally, a written reply to comments that might involve claims for refunds etc.
That said, my local supplier doesn't use them. Is it Rolawn that has the awful netting under it, that catches in the strimmer when edging it?
