Gateshead climbs steeply from the river, so plenty of its gardens slope. Add Tyneside flats in Bensham, Victorian semis in Low Fell and estates in Felling and Dunston, and you get a wide mix of lawns.
Low Fell and Saltwell
Low Fell's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis have long back gardens, often with mature trees and a bit of a slope. Around Saltwell Park, terraced streets have smaller gardens. These lawns are often established and ready for a full replacement.
Bensham and Teams
Bensham's steep streets are lined with Tyneside flats and terraces with small yards and back lanes. Small lawns here mean careful levels against paving, and access through the lane.
Turfing a sloping Gateshead garden
Look at the fall
Which way the garden slopes, and where rain runs.
Ease the slope
Small humps and hollows evened out with topsoil; the overall slope stays gentle.
Lay across
Rolls laid across the slope, with joints staggered.
Peg the steep bits
Pegs hold turf on steeper sections until roots take.
Felling, Heworth and Dunston
The east and west of Gateshead have plenty of interwar and post-war semis and ex-council homes, with lawns front and back and heavy clay underneath. Breaking up compaction and adding topsoil where it's thin makes all the difference.
Common questions
Can turf be laid on a steep garden?
Gentle slopes, yes. Very steep gardens may need terracing first, which we'll talk through.
Do you cover Low Fell?
Yes, along with the rest of Gateshead.
