Turf or sod as it's sometimes known seems to be like green gold. I found a garden centre that was prepared to source for around 300 CHFs for 6 m2 which is robbery even for Switzerland. Anyone know where I can buy in Germany or France near to the border? They must grow it in the Rhine baisin.

found this: coop bau & hobby selling what looks like real turf for 19.95chf per square metre

hope this helps

Coop's Rollrasen is indeed a good price - but be aware that there is usually a minimum order. When I looked into it a few years ago the minimum was 40m2 - that may have changed, so best to check.
