What the soil is like in Stockton-on-Tees
Most gardens here are on glacial clay, with siltier ground close to the Tees. Clay-rich subsoil left near the surface after building work needs loosening, and often a fresh layer of topsoil.
Picking a date for your Stockton-on-Tees lawn
It's relatively dry by North East standards, so a new lawn needs dependable watering. Spring once the frosts are over and the early autumn are the kindest times to lay.
The gardens we see in Stockton-on-Tees
Many gardens are on level, regular plots, with open front lawns. Back gardens can be enclosed by close-board fencing on three sides, which shades one edge for part of the day.
Shade from a new fence and dry spells are the two things that matter most for a Stockton lawn in its first summer, and both are easy to plan for.
Stockton-on-Tees questions
Part of my Stockton garden is shaded by the fence. Does that matter?
Turf grows in partial shade, though it'll be a little slower there. The aftercare guidance covers watering and mowing shaded edges. Mention heavy shade in the form if you have it.
