Ponteland and Darras Hall are known for detached homes on large plots, with big lawns, mature hedges and trees. Bigger lawns need more planning, and that's where we start.
Big gardens, bigger lawns
Darras Hall in particular has some of the largest residential gardens around Newcastle, many with lawns on several sides of the house and gentle changes in level. In Ponteland village, gardens are more modest but still generous by city standards.
What we plan for on larger lawns
-
Turf in daily batches
Turf is best laid soon after it's cut, so on big lawns we order and lay in sections.
-
Access for materials
Where to unload topsoil and turf without crossing finished lawn.
-
Levels and falls
Large lawns show every dip, so we check how water runs before laying.
-
Watering a big area
Sprinklers on long hoses, moved through the day, until the turf roots.
Trees, hedges and shade
Mature trees and tall hedges are part of the character here, but they shade and dry out the lawn beneath. Where a part of the garden gets little sun, the grass there will be thinner, so lifting low branches to let in light and watering under trees in dry spells both help. See turf laying for shady gardens.
Near the river
Some lower-lying gardens near the River Pont stay damp after wet weather. If yours has soft or wet areas, tell us when you ask for a quote so we can look at levels and drainage as part of the job.
Common questions
Can you lay a very large lawn?
Yes. Larger lawns may take more than a day, and your quote will say how long to expect.
Do I need an irrigation system for a new lawn?
Not usually. Sprinklers on hoses work well while the turf roots.
