Lawn turfing in Fawdon and Kingston Park
Fawdon's older semis and Kingston Park's later estates sit side by side in the north of the city, and their gardens need slightly different things.
Two kinds of garden
In Fawdon, interwar and post-war semis have established lawns with mature hedges, often worn and mossy after many years. Kingston Park was built later, from the 1980s onwards, with modern semis, detached homes and open-plan fronts. Those gardens can still be sitting on compacted builders' ground underneath.
What each area tends to need
Kingston Park
Fixing the ground underneath
Breaking up compaction, adding topsoil and grading so the lawn drains properly.
Open-plan fronts
Where front lawns run into each other without walls or hedges, we take care to blend the edge of your new lawn with the neighbouring grass.

Questions people ask
Do you cover Bank Foot?
Yes, along with Fawdon and Kingston Park.
Can you match my lawn to my neighbour's?
We lay a quality, hard-wearing turf. It'll look brighter at first, then settle in over the weeks as it roots.
