Lawn turfing in Benton and Longbenton
In the north-east of the city, Benton and Longbenton are full of family homes with proper gardens. Many lawns here are larger than you'd find nearer the centre.
Room for a real lawn
Longbenton was laid out between the wars with houses set in generous plots, and Benton's semis have long gardens too. That space is great for children and dogs, but it also means a tired lawn covers a lot of ground. Replacing the whole thing in one go gives an even, matching finish.
How a bigger lawn comes together
Lift in strips
The old grass is cut out with a turf cutter, which keeps a large area manageable.
Refresh the soil
Clay loosened, low spots filled and topsoil spread where it's thin.
Lay from one side
Turf goes down in straight, staggered rows working across the garden.
Finish and water
Edges trimmed, the lawn firmed and the first water given.
Front gardens
Many homes here have an open front lawn as well. Want it included? Mention it on the form and we'll price both.
