Turfing in Peterlee at a glance
-
The ground
East Durham's limestone plateau is covered in glacial till. Gardens can have a thin topsoil layer over stony ground, so topping up the soil is often part of a good lay.
-
The weather
With the sea a short way east, Peterlee is breezy and rarely frozen hard for long. Turf laid between April and June, or in September, generally knits in well.
-
The plots
New plots are usually regular, with front lawns beside drives and fenced rear gardens. Some have a gentle fall across the garden.
Getting a Peterlee lawn off to a good start
Thin soil over stony ground is the thing to watch here; a proper topsoil layer makes all the difference to how the lawn grows.

Peterlee questions
My Peterlee garden has stones coming up everywhere. Can you deal with that?
Surface stones and builders' debris are cleared as part of the prep. Larger amounts of rubble are priced separately, and your quote will show it if it's needed.
