Near the beach or further in
The closer a garden is to Sandhaven and the cliffs at Marsden, the more wind it catches, and new turf there wants watering more often until it roots. Inland, around Harton and Biddick Hall, you're more likely to find heavy clay, so the work is more about loosening compacted ground and getting the drainage right.
Parking and access
Ocean Road and the seafront get busy, particularly on warm days, and terraced streets near the town centre can have little room outside. If there's a back lane, a drive or a side path, tell us on the form so we can plan where to park and how the turf reaches your lawn.

Questions people ask
Do you cover the whole of South Shields?
Yes, including Westoe, Harton, Horsley Hill, Marsden, Biddick Hall, Simonside and the Lawe Top.
We have big trees in the garden. Can you still turf it?
Usually. Grass under a heavy canopy will grow thinner, so we'll talk you through what to expect in the shadier parts.
