Turf 100m
"
I have been using Hall Stone Direct online company for a few years now and they are great. The deliveries always arrive on time, the drivers are always polite and the pallets are always well placed. Prices are very competitive too.
We were really grateful to have the turf delivered so quickly. We had a very tight schedule as we had to lay it before the bank holiday weekend. The service was really efficient and the driver was very helpful - placing it exactly where we needed it and not complaining about having to manhandle it through our narrow gate. Thanks again for all your help and we will certainly be recommending you to anyone who needs turf delivered locally.

Conclusion
Consumer reviews for Hallstone show a clear split between positive product experiences and frequent operational problems. Many buyers praise competitive pricing, courteous drivers and good turf quality when deliveries arrive as scheduled. However a substantial number of reviews report missed or late deliveries, poor telephone support, missing callbacks and occasional billing or tracking issues. Prospective customers should confirm delivery timing, request tracking or consignment details, and allow contingency for labour when booking installers. When possible, document contact details and ask for written confirmation of delivery windows and any delivery charges before payment.
