New-build gardens cleared, prepared and turfed in Gateshead and South Tyneside
South of the Tyne, from hillside estates in Gateshead to new homes near the South Tyneside coast, we prepare and turf bare new-build gardens.
New homes south of the river
In Gateshead, new estates have gone up on the western side around Whickham, Ryton and Crawcrook and to the south around Birtley. Across in South Tyneside, there are newer homes in and around Hebburn, Jarrow, Boldon and South Shields.
The landscape changes a lot across the two boroughs, which shows in the gardens: some sit on noticeable slopes, others are flat and open.
Slopes, soil and access
Sloping gardens
Hillside plots in parts of Gateshead often fall away from the house. The levelling stage takes out dips and ridges and keeps an even, gentle fall rather than fighting the natural shape of the land.
Near the coast
Gardens closer to South Shields and the coast can be more open to the weather. New turf here benefits from extra attention to watering while it roots.
Reaching the garden
Let us know if your garden is reached through a garage or the house, or if parking on your street is tight.

FAQs
Questions about your new garden
Our garden slopes. Can it still be turfed?
Yes. Most sloping gardens can be turfed once the surface is levelled into an even fall. Very steep banks may need a different approach, which we'd talk through with you.
Do you cover both Gateshead and South Tyneside?
Yes, both boroughs. Put your postcode on the form and we'll take it from there.
