Turfing & Planting Site Survey Request Form

A survey request template — ground, drainage, soil and access assessed, so turfing and planting are quoted from real conditions.

Description

Turf and plants live or die on the ground beneath them, so a survey before quoting pays for itself — it reveals the soil, the drainage and the prep a job really needs, rather than what a photo suggests. This form books that visit with the key conditions flagged, so the surveyor knows what to assess. It asks what makes a turfing or planting survey worthwhile: the areas involved, what’s growing or built there now, how the ground drains, any known soil issues, the aspect, and the access for materials. For planting especially, the surveyor’s read on soil and light is what turns a wish-list into a scheme that’ll thrive — so the form gathers what to look at. Put it behind your “book a survey” link once someone’s serious. Free, brandable, and it turns an enquiry into a quote grounded in the garden’s real conditions.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Turfing & Planting Site Survey Request Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What happens at a turfing or planting survey?

We assess the ground, soil and drainage, check the aspect and light, measure the areas, and work out the preparation and plants that will actually thrive. It turns a rough idea into a firm, realistic quote and plan.

Why survey before quoting a lawn or planting?

Because the ground decides everything — poor drainage drowns a lawn, the wrong soil starves plants. A photo hides all of that. The survey catches it, so the quote covers the prep needed and the scheme suits the conditions.

Do you test the soil?

We assess it on site — type, condition and drainage — which is usually enough to guide prep and planting. For tricky cases we can advise on a soil test. The form flags any issues you already know about so we check them.

Will you check drainage?

Yes — we look at how the ground sheds water, since a waterlogged lawn or bed fails. If drainage needs addressing before turfing or planting, we’ll spot it on the survey and build it into the plan and quote.

How long does a survey take?

Usually under an hour for a typical garden — longer for a large or complex site with drainage and multiple areas to assess. We’ll confirm when we book the visit.

Is booking a survey free?

Yes — the form’s free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable, and it embeds on your site or shares as a link.
