Newcastle Great Park is one of the city's biggest new-build developments, and like most new estates, its gardens often start as thin topsoil over compacted clay. We fix the ground and lay a lawn that thrives.

New-build gardens at Great Park

Great Park has been built in phases over many years, and the newest streets are still taking shape. Homes are typically handed over with a bare garden or a quickly laid builder's lawn. Underneath is usually a thin layer of topsoil over clay that's been driven over by site traffic.

That's why so many new-build lawns struggle: water sits on the surface in winter, the ground bakes in summer and roots can't get down.

How we turn a Great Park plot into a lawn

  1. Builder's turf off

    Any existing builder's turf and surface debris lifted and taken away.

  2. Compaction broken

    The packed clay layer is loosened so water and roots can move through.

  3. Rubble out

    Bricks, concrete and hardcore near the surface are dug out. Rubble is priced separately.

  4. Topsoil in

    A proper depth of topsoil spread, levelled and firmed.

  5. Turf down

    Laid, edged against paths and patios, and watered in.

Front and back, or plot numbers

Most new-build owners have both lawns done together. If you haven't moved in yet and there's no full address, choose the new-build option when you fill in the form and include your plot number.

The older homes around Brunton, Melton Park and Wideopen have established gardens, often due a replacement lawn. These are usually simpler jobs with good access.

Common questions

The builder's lawn keeps going yellow. Why?

Usually because it was laid on thin topsoil over compacted clay, so roots can't grow down. Replacing it with proper preparation fixes this.

Can you turf before we move in?

Yes, if we can get onto the plot and use water. Give us the plot number on the form.
