Pleveys Garden World

Pleveys Garden World, garden centre and turf supplier in Doncaster

Pleveys Garden World is a garden centre on Chappell Drive, near Doncaster College, trading under Plevey & Sons LTD. The business combines a retail shop with a delivery operation and a landscape gardening service, and presents itself as a source for turf, growing media, lawn treatments and vegetable growing supplies.

Turf, top soil and delivery

Lawn turf is one of the central lines. The site lists stadium turf at £5.50 per roll or square metre, with discounts applied above 70 rolls, and sells turf in pre-measured packs from 10 m² (£55.00) up to 50 m² (£275.00), alongside a range covering 1 m² to 60 m². Top soil is offered with a quote-based price and can be delivered; the shop states that customers without their own transport can have orders brought to their door. Customer reviews published on the site describe deliveries of turf and top soil, including one-tonne loads of top soil.

Grass seed and lawn care products

The grass seed range runs from 12 m² to 500 m² packs and includes suburban multi-purpose seed, a shady mix, and a formal mix without ryegrass. Sizes and prices shown include suburban multi-purpose at 12 m² (£5.75), 25 m² (£11.00) and 500 m² (£127.00), formal seed without ryegrass at 17 m² (£6.50), 35 m² (£12.50), 175 m² (£50.00) and 500 m² (£146.00), and a shady mix priced from £6.00 to £158.00 depending on the pack.

Seasonal lawn treatments are stocked from two brands. Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care & Food and Spring & Summer Lawn Care are each listed at £32.00 for 360 m². The Thomas Elliott line includes Autumn and Winter Fertiliser in 360 m² (£52.00), 37 m² (£11.00, reduced to £10.00) and 75 m² (£22.00, reduced to £19.50), Spring and Summer fertiliser in 360 m² (£57.50), 37 m² (£11.50) and 75 m² (£23.00), and a Weed (Nutrigrow) Feed & Mosskiller for 625 m² at £50.00.

Composts, seeds and edible crops

Clover peat-based composts are sold in several formats: multi-purpose at 60 litres (£8.80), ericaceous compost for rhododendron, azalea and camellia at 75 litres (£11.00), and sphagnum moss peat at 60 litres (£8.00). The site describes the multi-purpose formula as nutrient enriched with a wetting agent for easier watering, suited to seed sowing, potting, containers and hanging baskets.

Vegetable seeds come from Suttons, with tomato varieties such as Crimson Blush and Crimson Crush (blight resistant, 10 seeds, £4.49 each), Ailsa Craig (65 seeds, £1.99), Shirley F1 (20 seeds, £4.99) and F1 Resistafly carrot (£2.79). The shop also lists seed potatoes, onion sets, shallots and other vegetable seeds, and publishes guidance on overwintering onion sets, which stay in the ground around 300 days and are described as growing strongly on heavy soils.

Tools, gifts and other lines

Garden tools and gift items include Kent & Stowe stainless steel hand potting scoop and folding saw with hand guard (both £14.99), professional anvil secateurs (£19.99), traditional anvil and bypass secateurs (£9.99 each) and a twin pack of traditional bypass and anvil secateurs (£19.99). Spear & Jackson trowels are offered in 'Worlds Best Gardener' and 'Thank you' versions at £14.99. The wider catalogue covers plants, shrubs and bedding, Christmas trees, Calor Gas bottles and refills, and gift cards.

Landscape gardening and tree surgery

Beyond retail, Pleveys provides landscape gardening services, quoted on request, and lists tree surgery among its activities. The site also points to a forthcoming growing guide section, with existing pages on building a lawn from grass seed and on growing potatoes.

Service model and customer feedback

Orders can be placed online for click and collect or home delivery, and the shop also runs a call and collect service by phone. Payment is accepted by all major cards. The site displays a rating of 4.8 based on 63 reviews, and the published comments highlight staff advice, the condition of delivered turf and top soil, and the conduct of delivery drivers.
