Turfing in North Shields at a glance
-
The ground
The ground is mostly glacial clay over the coalfield. On new plots it is often compacted and patchy, with stones and site waste near the surface that need clearing first.
-
The weather
Being near the mouth of the Tyne brings sea frets and brisk breezes but fewer hard frosts. New turf settles well in spring and early autumn, with watering stepped up on dry, windy days.
-
The plots
Rear gardens are usually fenced and rectangular, sometimes with a slight fall away from the house. Front gardens on newer streets can be small lawns beside a drive.
