Advice on lawn care, laying turf and gardening from Rolawn, the growers of Britain’s Finest Turf
If you’re not as fit as you used to be, gardening is a great way to stay active. In this blog post we offer tips and advice to help you tailor your gardening jobs to your individual needs.
Dogs may be man (or woman’s) best friend but, depending on the breed, they are not always the keen gardener’s best mate. We’ve all seen pictures of muddy canines cheerfully transforming a nice lawn into a lunar landscape or flower beds into trenches, but does dog ownership really have to mean bidding farewell to your outdoor haven?
Davina visits the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time, meeting celebrities and designers and gets tips for her garden.
Ever thought of opening your garden to the public? Our friend Justine Dixon is opening her garden for NGS for the first time in May this year. Here she tells us what’s involved.
There are a wealth of organisations promoting and supporting gardening as an activity and we are proud to have links with clubs in the local area. Ever thought of setting up a gardening club, read on…
Whether you’re a professional groundsman or an amateur gardener, the humble lawnmower has helped transform and maintain our gardens, parks and sports grounds for centuries. But where did it all start?
As our previous blog attests, the physical and mental benefits of gardening are proven. So much so, that in parts of the country, GPs are prescribing gardening as a ‘medicine’ of sorts as there is evidence to confirm that it reduces the need to see a GP or attend A&E, enhances wellbeing and even promotes better sleep.
Instead of heading to the gym in the Summer evening you can create a moderate intensity workout whilst working on your own garden, which is not only good for keeping your body fit and healthy, it is also good for the mind and soul too.
The Harrogate Spring Flower Show feature, sponsored by Rolawn, takes cues from the landscape style developed by Capability Brown. Sales and Marketing Director, Jonathan Hill, poses a few questions to designer, Tony Smith…
After spending six years battling the weeds on our vegetable plot we decided enough was enough. Trying to keep it under control was taking up too much time and the rest of the garden was starting to suffer. Something drastic had to be done and we decided raised beds were the answer.
At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April.
This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.
While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases.
From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.
We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn.
We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty.
We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.
If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
