Hexham is a stone-built market town in the Tyne Valley, rising from the river past the Abbey and the old centre to streets on the hillside to the south. Many of its gardens are long-established, with old walls, mature trees and deep borders.
Stone walls and established gardens
Older Hexham homes are mostly built of local sandstone, and so are their garden walls. Behind terraces and villas you'll often find long, enclosed lawns with mature trees, deep borders and flagged paths. Replacing a lawn in a garden like that is mostly about care: protecting the planting, keeping edges crisp and matching levels to old stone that won't move.
Shade is common in these gardens. Walls and trees cut the light for part of the day, which suits a well-prepared lawn mown a little longer rather than one cut short. Our page on lawns in shade explains more.
Around Hexham
| Area | Homes | What a new lawn usually involves |
|---|---|---|
| Around the Abbey and centre | Stone terraces and townhouses | Small walled gardens; access may be through the house |
| Hillside streets to the south | Villas and inter-war houses | Sloping lawns, levelling, mature trees |
| Estates on the edges | Post-war and later family homes | Worn lawns lifted and relaid on loosened clay |
| Recent developments | New builds | Builder's turf replaced after the ground is prepared |
| Tyne Valley villages | Cottages and larger rural plots | Bigger lawns, more exposure to the weather |
Low ground by the Tyne
Homes on the flatter land near the river can find their gardens slow to drain after heavy or prolonged rain. A lawn there needs levels that shed water, and sometimes a closer look at the soil before turf goes down. If your garden is near the river and stays wet, say so when you ask for a quote.
