Liverpool gardens after the builders leave
Newer plots range from compact terraces with small rear lawns to semis with gardens front and back. Access is often through a side gate or a rear passage.
Mild winters give Merseyside a longer season for laying turf than many parts of the north.
Soil in Liverpool: what we prepare for
Liverpool is built on red sandstone, mostly covered by clay till, with sandier soils towards the coast to the north. Clay needs breaking up; sandy plots need topsoil that holds moisture.
Timing your lawn in Liverpool
Winters are mild by the sea, so turfing can often start a little earlier in spring than further inland. Westerly winds dry new turf, so watering matters in breezy weather.
Turfing in Liverpool: questions
Can turf be laid in winter in Liverpool?
In a mild spell, often yes, provided the soil is neither frozen nor saturated. Even so, roots take most readily in spring and autumn.
