What the soil is like in Consett
The higher ground here is heavy clay, often wet. Construction traffic squeezes it hard, so loosening and grading are essential, and topsoil helps the turf root.
Picking a date for your Consett lawn
Height makes a difference: colder winters, more rain and a later spring than lowland Durham. Late spring and early September are usually the best times to lay.
The gardens we see in Consett
Plots can be exposed and sloping, with views across the valley. Gardens facing the prevailing wind need firm, well-bedded turf.
Up here the season is shorter, so it pays to plan a date for your lawn well before it's needed.
Consett questions
Is it too cold in Consett to turf in early spring?
Turf isn't laid on frozen or waterlogged ground. In Consett late spring is usually the safer choice, and your quote will suggest timing for your garden.
