Fresh Turf Delivered Across North Tyneside

Upstairs, downstairs: turf for Tyneside flats

Upper and lower Tyneside flats often share one yard, or split it down the middle with a low wall or a line of slabs. Either of you can order. It just helps to agree the plan first.

More on measuring and ordering your half: turf for Tyneside flat yards.

Splitting a shared yard

Decide who's having which half before anyone measures. Then order for your half only and put both names in the order notes, along with which side is yours. If you're both turfing, a Terrace Pack between two halves often works out simpler than two small orders.

Whitley Bay and Tynemouth by the sea

Near the front at Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and Tynemouth the ground is often sandy and free-draining. Turf takes well to it, and because it drains freely, it needs a little more water early on.

Wind and sand

Work a little topsoil into very sandy ground before laying, so the roots have something to hold. Then water more often than you would inland, especially on breezy days, until the turf has knitted down.

Wallsend and North Shields terraces

Wallsend has long rows of terraces with lanes behind them and small front gardens. North Shields has the same, plus some lanes that drop steeply towards the river.

Steep lanes down to the river

On the steeper lanes round North Shields, add a note when you order about where the van can pull in and how to reach your property. Your bin day is handy too.
