Brighton

Typical new-build gardens in Brighton

Hilly streets mean steep, compact gardens, sometimes terraced into the slope.

On chalk, the depth of soil under the turf decides how green the lawn stays in a dry summer.

The ground under Brighton gardens

The Downs are chalk, and the soil over it is often only a thin crust. On a new plot that crust may have been scraped away altogether, so topsoil is brought in to give the roots enough depth.

Weather and timing in Brighton

It's one of the sunnier stretches of coast, and the breeze dries things fast. Early spring and early autumn are much kinder to fresh turf than high summer.
