Lawn turfing in Jesmond
Jesmond gardens range from compact yards behind Tyneside flats to long walled lawns behind tall Victorian terraces. Each needs a slightly different plan.
Tall terraces and walled gardens
Many of Jesmond's grand terraces have long, narrow back gardens enclosed by high brick walls. They're sheltered and private, but access is often only through the house or a lane at the bottom. We plan how the turf and soil come in, and how the old lawn goes out, before we arrive.

For landlords
Jesmond has a lot of rented homes. A fresh lawn in place of a weedy yard helps a property look looked-after for viewings. Pick A rental on the form and explain the access arrangements if you can't be there on the day.
Shade from high walls
Walls and tall houses can cut a lawn's sunlight to a few hours a day. Turf copes well with that, but it helps to mow a little higher and avoid heavy wear in the first season.
