Soil in Chester-le-Street: what we prepare for
The Wear valley here is mostly glacial clay. New gardens can be compacted and uneven after building, so loosening and grading come before any turf.
Typical new-build gardens in Chester-le-Street
Gardens can fall gently towards the river, and plots on the edge of town may be larger, with lawns front and back.
A gentle fall towards the river is easy to work with once the clay has been opened up and evened out.
Timing your lawn in Chester-le-Street
Inland and sheltered, the town wakes to frosty mornings in early spring. Late April, May and the first weeks of autumn usually give fresh turf its easiest start.
