Ground conditions around Leeds
Much of Leeds sits on Coal Measures sandstone and shale, with clay soils over them. Gardens can be stony and compacted after building, so clearing and levelling come first.
Leeds weather and new turf
On the edge of the Pennines, the west of the city is wetter and cooler than the east. Spring and early autumn are dependable times for new turf.
Plot shapes and access in Leeds
The city is hilly, so sloping gardens and stepped levels are common. Newer plots often have a patio by the house and lawn beyond.
Hills give Leeds gardens character; a well-graded slope gives a lawn that looks settled from day one.
Leeds questions
Can you turf around the patio the builder left at my Leeds home?
Yes. Turf is cut neatly to existing patios, paths and drives. We don't lay paving ourselves.
