Turf laying in Bishop Auckland
Turf laying in Bishop Auckland, Shildon and the Auckland villages
Bishop Auckland is the old market town where the River Gaunless meets the Wear, home to Auckland Castle. Around it, stone villages and estates sit on the valley sides, so sloping gardens and older lawns are a big part of the work here.

Bishop Auckland gardens
On the slopes
With the town and villages set along the river valleys, plenty of gardens fall away from the house. A mild slope can usually take turf as it is; steeper ones may need levelling or terracing first. Tell us about the slope and it'll be allowed for.
Older properties
Victorian terraces in town and stone cottages in villages such as Escomb, Etherley and Toft Hill often have lawns that have been there for decades. Lifting and relaying gives you an even, healthy lawn without losing the garden's character.
Estates around the town
Estates such as Woodhouse Close and Henknowle have plenty of family gardens where a worn lawn can be replaced in a day in most cases.
