Lawn turfing in Wallsend
Wallsend runs from the riverside, past The Green and the town centre, up to Battle Hill and out towards Holystone. Gardens go from compact yards to roomy family lawns, and we turf them all.
Wallsend homes
Flats and terraces near the river
The older streets closer to the Tyne have Tyneside flats and terraces, many with a walled yard that opens onto the back lane through a gate. A compact lawn suits them, and everything comes in and goes out through that gate.
Semis and family gardens
Further up, rows of interwar and post-war semis have grass at the front and a longer lawn behind. These are often worn family lawns ready for a fresh start.
Estates and newer homes
Battle Hill and Hadrian Park have estate homes with open-plan fronts, and there are newer houses on the Holystone side. Where your front lawn runs into a neighbour's, we match the height and keep a clean line between the two.
Handy to mention on your form
- Whether you reach the garden from a back lane, a side path or only through the house
- What covers the ground now: grass, gravel, bare soil or concrete
- Any steps between the street and the lawn
- If it's a shared yard, or a rental between tenants
- A rough size, or the figure from our lawn calculator
Heavy soil and soggy patches
Much of Wallsend has heavy, clay-rich soil. Over the years it packs down and puddles sit on it after rain. Before laying, we break up the compacted layer and work in topsoil where the old ground is thin, giving new roots something to grow into.
Concrete can't be turfed straight over. If there's some to come up, it's broken out first and the rubble is priced as its own line.
