Hello everyone,

I want to keep it simple and ask if anyone has already looked into the topic of turf in enough detail to recommend a good and affordable supplier or online shop! My landscaping contractor is going to shape the garden in the next few days. The landscaper suggests I should consider sowing the lawn in March. However, if I feel like it, I could also lay turf in early September, right?

@Lumpi_LE You can also use rainwater and don’t have to use potable water...
only with a cistern as big as yours...
The standard homebuilder’s 5–10 m³ (13,200–26,400 gallons) cistern is enough for toilets and plants, if you’re lucky.

What speaks against a well with a pump?

For us, a well doesn’t make sense because a) the permit or approval can be revoked at any time and the water volume is limited, and b) my neighbor has a well and the total cost was around 6-7k euros. By the time it pays off, I’ll be retired.

That’s a pity, those are indeed valid reasons against it. However, my point was more about @Lumpi_LE’s claim that wasting drinking water or installing a 78 m² (840 sq ft) cistern are the only options.

For us, the (admittedly not ideal) driven well cost about 1,000 euros and didn’t require a permit. That pays off quite quickly.

Okay, if a well can be installed cheaply. However, you still have to invest 1000€ in the garden first.

This can especially be done when others have to watch their plants dry out due to water shortages in the drinking water system.
