For further delivery information and details of supplementary charges please see our Delivery Policy.
It is best if you are in to accept the delivery. We will attempt to deliver if you are not present and the driver will determine the most appropriate positioning for your goods. With unattended deliveries, Rolawn cannot accept any liability for theft, product deterioration or consequences arising from the positioning of your delivery.
Deliveries of lawn fertiliser and lawn seed are made by DPD Local courier. If you are not available to take delivery the courier will leave a card at the delivery address confirming that they have tried to deliver. Follow the instructions on the card to rearrange delivery. You will also receive an email, text or notification via the DPD app giving you the option to rearrange your delivery with the courier or arrange for it to be left somewhere safe.
Kerbside delivery means that the delivery will be placed as close to your property as possible, as deemed safe by the driver. In most cases, this will be on the pavement outside your property.
To avoid damage to your property by heavy vehicles, delivery of turf, topsoil, bark, soil improver and topdressing can be made to kerbside only. This means we undertake to place the goods as close to your property as deemed safe by the driver.
For further information regarding our method of delivery, please see our Delivery Policy.
The delivery method and type of off-loading depends upon your delivery postcode.
Turf and bulk bags are generally delivered on pallets and off-loaded using a tail lift and positioned using a manual pallet truck. Manual pallet trucks can only operate on a flat, level, concreted, or similar firm surface. They cannot operate on slopes, gravel, earth, grass or any other type of non-solid surface.
Within the M25 and some surrounding areas, pallets of turf/bulk bags will usually be off-loaded using a vehicle mounted hydraulic crane ('hiab') which lowers the pallet/bulk bag to ground level. Bulk bags will not be delivered on pallets when delivered via 'hiab'.
For further delivery information please see our Delivery Policy.
If you have any concerns about delivery, please contact us as other options may be available.
Delivery is to kerbside only. Turf and bulk bags will usually be offloaded using a tail-lift and pallet truck and therefore cannot be lifted over a hedge or fence. Please read our Delivery Policy for more information.
No, delivery is to kerbside only. Further information can be found in our Delivery Policy.
Our bulk bags and pallets are 'non-returnable'. Please dispose of them responsibly.
Once you have placed your order we will send an email confirming your purchase and delivery details. If the email does not reach you, please check your junk or spam folder; if it hasn't arrived please contact us.
If you have ordered lawn seed or fertiliser you will receive notifications about delivery from the courier, DPD Local, via email, text message or the DPD mobile phone app.
If you have ordered turf or bulk bags you will not receive any further communication unless you have specifically requested this in the delivery notes section. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a call ahead from the delivery driver, as it is not always possible for the driver to stop to make a call.
For deliveries of lawn seed and fertiliser which are sent by courier, you will receive notifications via email, text message or the DPD app to enable you to track delivery of your order, if you have supplied us with a valid email address or mobile number.
For deliveries of turf or bulk bags, tracking isn't currently available with the third party carriers we use. Deliveries will be made anytime between 8am and 6pm. Due to high order and enquiry volumes currently, we are not able to provide ETAs for deliveries.
