A swap after years of use
Many lawns here have been family gardens for decades. Moss under mature trees and worn patches by the back door are common. Usually it's a full replacement onto refreshed soil.

Lawn turfing in Gosforth
Gosforth has a real mix of gardens, from terraced streets near the High Street out to semis towards Kenton Bank Foot. We lay fresh lawns across all of them.
Gardens in Gosforth
Gosforth grew in stages, which shows in its gardens. Older homes around the High Street and Brandling Park, many Victorian or Edwardian, tend to have neat front gardens and deeper lawns at the back. Further out, the interwar semis of West Gosforth and Coxlodge sit behind front lawns with long, straight back gardens.
The cottage-style homes of the Garden Village have their own character too, with hedged plots and lawns that suit a softer, rounded edge.
What Gosforth lawns usually need
Careful edges
Established borders, old stone edging and tiled paths deserve neat work. We trim the new turf to follow what's already there.
Trees and shade
Big trees in older gardens take moisture and light. Where roots are near the surface, we'll keep the levels sensible and explain how to look after grass in their shadow.
Fitting in around a busy street
On terraced roads close to the High Street, parking can be tight. Tell us on the form if there's a back lane or a side gate and we'll plan the day around it.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Gosforth?
Yes, including South Gosforth, West Gosforth, Coxlodge and the streets around the Regent Centre.
My lawn is under a big tree. Is it worth returfing?
Often, yes, as long as it gets some light. In deep shade grass will always be thinner, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case.
