York
Typical new-build gardens in York
Gardens are usually flat and regular, with lawns front and back. Some plots near rivers sit low.
A flat Vale of York plot is a great start for a lawn once the ground has been opened up.
The ground under York gardens
The Vale of York is flat, with glacial lake clays in some places and sandier ground in others. Clay plots can hold water when compacted, so loosening is key.
Weather and timing in York
York is drier than the west of the county and gets frosty winter mornings. Spring and early autumn suit new turf; watering matters in dry spells.
