Jarrow's housing tells the story of the town: Tyneside flats and terraces from the shipbuilding years near the river, then estate after estate spreading south towards Hedworth, Fellgate and Monkton.
Shared gardens and split yards
Tyneside flats are a local speciality: two front doors side by side, one for the upstairs flat and one for the downstairs. Behind them the yard is often divided between the two, so a lawn may only cover half the space, or one side may want grass while the other keeps its paving. We lay to the boundary you show us and finish the edge cleanly against whatever is next door.
Terraced houses in the same streets usually have a single walled yard with a back lane behind. Once the ground is right, small spaces like these are straightforward to turf, and the lane makes access simple.
From the river to the southern estates
| Part of Jarrow | What you'll usually find | What a new lawn involves |
|---|---|---|
| Streets near the river and town centre | Tyneside flats and terraces | Small yard lawns, hard surfaces cleared, careful levels at the door |
| Primrose and Simonside | Estates built through the mid twentieth century | Front and back lawns lifted and relaid |
| Hedworth and Fellgate | Later estates, many with open fronts | Front lawns matched to neighbours, back lawns levelled |
| Monkton Village | Older village houses alongside newer homes | More varied gardens, with walls and mature trees to work around |
A broad picture only; plenty of streets break the pattern.
Worth telling us about a Jarrow garden
- If the yard is shared with the flat above or below, and where the split is
- Whether there's back-lane access and a gate wide enough for a barrow
- Any drains, gullies or inspection covers in the area to be turfed
- Low spots where water sits after rain, which is common on the clay here
- Whether you'd like the old surface lifted or are clearing it yourself
Common questions
We live in a downstairs Tyneside flat. Can you turf just our half of the yard?
Yes. Tell us where the boundary is and we'll lay up to it with a clean edge.
Do you cover Hedworth, Fellgate and Monkton?
Yes, all of Jarrow and the estates to the south of it.
The ground in our yard is rock hard. Will turf grow on it?
Not well on its own. Compacted ground is broken up and topped with fresh topsoil first, which is why we ask what's there now. Our guide on laying turf without topsoil explains why that layer matters.
