Gosforth's gardens tend to be long, established and well loved, which also means they've often had decades of wear. We lift tired lawns, sort out the ground and lay fresh turf.

Gosforth gardens

The streets either side of the High Street are lined with Edwardian terraces and semis, many with long, narrow back gardens running down to a lane. Further out, 1930s semis and larger detached homes around South Gosforth and the Moor have generous lawns, often framed by mature trees and hedges.

Lawns here are usually a straight replacement: the old grass has thinned, moss has crept in under the trees and the surface has gone bumpy over the years.

What we often find in Gosforth lawns

  • Moss and thin grass in the shade of established trees
  • Tree roots near the surface, which we level around rather than cut
  • Bumps and hollows from years of settling
  • Clay soil that's compacted along the busiest routes
  • Old paving or edging buried along borders

Access and front gardens

Many Gosforth terraces have a back gate onto a lane, which makes life easy. Semis usually have a side passage. Where the only way to the back garden is through the house, we'll protect your floors and carry everything by hand.

Front lawns on the older streets are often small and edged by a low wall or railings. We take care to set levels neatly against the path and wall so they look sharp from the street.

Lawns in tree-lined gardens

If your lawn sits under big trees, it gets less light and less water than the open parts of the garden. Lifting low branches, watering through dry spells and clearing leaves every autumn make a real difference. See turf laying for shady gardens.

Common questions

Can you work around mature trees?

Yes. We level around surface roots rather than cutting through large ones. Where the canopy is heavy, we'll tell you honestly how well grass is likely to do.

My garden runs down to a back lane. Can you use it?

Yes, it's often the easiest way in for turf and out for waste.
