We are unable to give specific times for deliveries due to road and traffic conditions which are beyond our control.

Can you pop the plants / soil on the driveway / round the back?

We offer a kerbside delivery service only. We do ask that you ensure that you have adequate staff on site to unload your delivery and sign for the goods received. Deliveries and unloading will be at our discretion of the drivers. If a driver deems a situation too dangerous, deliveries will be returned to our yard. Please note - charges may be incurred for waiting times.

Can you take your vehicle across the grass?

We do not take vehicles across grass areas or other delicate areas due to possible damage. We can deliver kerbside to you.
