We'll aim to dig this up with a good level of soil on the grass and in strips. So if you wanted to pick this up around Easter Sunday or Monday, 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 and I can let you know when it is ready for collection or you can even come round and help dig it up if you want to!
