South Tyneside runs from the riverside towns of Jarrow and Hebburn to South Shields and the coast at Whitburn. This page covers South Shields and the coastal side, where gardens range from small yards to the villas of Westoe and Cleadon.

Gardens across South Tyneside

Area	Typical homes	What turfing usually involves
South Shields town	Terraces and Tyneside flats	Small yards, back lanes, levels against paving
Westoe and Harton	Victorian villas and 1930s semis	Long lawns, mature trees, mossy shade
Cleadon, Boldon and Whitburn	Village homes and larger plots	Bigger lawns, exposure to coastal wind
Jarrow and Hebburn	Terraces, semis and estates	Front and back lawns, clay soils (see their own pages)

Coastal gardens

Near the seafront and around Whitburn, wind off the North Sea dries new turf quickly. Watering well in the first weeks is the key to it rooting. Further inland, heavy clay is the bigger issue, and good preparation keeps water from sitting in winter.

Jarrow and Hebburn

The riverside towns west of South Shields now have their own guides. Turf laying in Jarrow covers its Tyneside flats, split yards and southern estates; turf laying in Hebburn covers its terraces, semis and heavy clay.

Common questions

Do you cover Jarrow and Hebburn?

Yes. See our pages for Jarrow and Hebburn.

Does coastal wind affect new turf?

It dries it faster, so water a little more often for the first few weeks.
