Rolawn Medallion® selected for iconic gardens in Edinburgh

One of Edinburgh’s most beautiful green spaces has undergone a significant recent transformation.

Princes’ Street Gardens, which lay in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, are a popular destination for residents and visitors alike, due to their beauty and central location. Replacing turf that receives heavy footfall during the Winter Festival is an essential part of maintaining the area and because of their importance to the city, it is a priority for the gardens to look first class in time for the main tourist season.

Due to the very wet weather this year, selecting turf that will rapidly establish and look superb from the outset was essential, resulting in Rolawn’s award-winning Medallion turf being chosen for the contract. Medallion is well known for its quality, health, fast rooting characteristics and lush, vibrant green sward, making it the most specified turf in the UK and an obvious choice for high-profile commercial landscaping projects.

7000m of Medallion was supplied to Edinburgh-based commercial landscaping contractors, SportsMasters UK, who chose to take Rolawn’s larger Turfmaster® rolls, which are over 24 metres long, allowing for quick, efficient coverage of large areas.

Gavin Brown, SportMasters UK Managing Director stated “This contract required premium quality turf supplied under very tight time restrictions, Rolawn delivered on both counts and we are delighted with the outcome.”

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

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.
