West Newcastle mixes 1930s semis around Fenham with Victorian terraces in Arthur's Hill and Wingrove, and slopes falling towards the Tyne in Benwell and Elswick. We lay lawns across all of it.
Fenham's family gardens
Fenham is known for its interwar semis, particularly around Fenham Hall Drive and the streets off Two Ball Lonnen, with good-sized front lawns and long back gardens. Many are original lawns that have been patched over the years. Replacing them gives an even, healthy lawn again.
Terraces in Arthur's Hill and Wingrove
Closer to the city, the Victorian terraces of Arthur's Hill and Wingrove have small yards and back lanes, much like east Newcastle. Small lawns here need careful levels against paving and thoughtful access through the lane.
Turfing a sloping garden in Benwell or Elswick
Check the fall
Many streets here drop towards the river, so we look at how the garden falls and where water runs.
Even it out
Small slopes are smoothed with topsoil; steep ones stay as gentle slopes.
Lay across the slope
Rolls run across rather than down, so joints don't channel rainwater.
Peg if needed
On steeper bits, pegs hold the turf until it roots.
Newer homes
Parts of Benwell, Elswick and Scotswood have newer housing, with the usual new-build ground of thin topsoil over compacted clay. See new-build gardens for how we prepare it.
Common questions
Can you turf a sloping garden?
Yes. Gentle slopes turf well, laid across the slope and pegged where needed.
Do you lift the old lawn?
Yes, and take it away as part of the job.
