Rolawn Topsoil Delivered to Thames Ditton Island

As Good As Grass editor:
There was a special deliver this morning but nobody was available to sign for the 50 tonne grass delivery. Looks like the delivery man was up the Thames without a paddle! Joking aside, we take our hats off to Rolawn who made the real grass industry proud. Now the "As Good As Grass" team need to find an island to install an artificial lawn upon!

Rolawn, Europe's largest turf grower and leading topsoil supplier, recently undertook one of their more unusual and challenging customer requests by delivering their Blended Loam topsoil to Thames Ditton Island.

Due to a complete lack of road traffic and the only access being by a pedestrian suspension footbridge on the 350 yard island, a barge was used to deliver the tote bags across the Thames to the island, near Hampton Court.

The barge sailed across the Thames from the north bank, moored alongside the customers property and then lifted each bag by crane directly into the garden.

Philip Cuthbert, Rolawn's Commercial Director commented "this demonstrates Rolawn's commitment to customer service and our philosophy that where there's a will there's a way."

Rolawn is Europe's larger producer of cultivated Turf and is also recognised as Britain's leading supplier of high quality topsoil. Located in the Vale of York, Rolawn is an independent business whose reputation has been established for over 30 years. Rolawn also provide bark and lawn seed as well as lawn food and fertiliser.

You guessed it, this article wasn't specifically about garden maintenance or lawn care. Although you have to admire the customer care given to those who want a lawn! If you know of any more special stories about customer care for lawn lovers then let us know!
