Gardens around Durham

Built on hills

Much of the city sits on slopes, so plenty of gardens are above or below the road and reached by steps or a path down the side. Mention it on the form and your quote will allow for carrying the turf in.

Terraced streets and student lets

Around Gilesgate, the streets near the viaduct and towards Neville's Cross, many terraced houses are rented out. A fresh lawn, or a turfed front strip, is an easy way to smarten a let. Our landlord service explains how it works.

Estates on the edge of the city

Newton Hall, Framwellgate Moor, Belmont and Carrville have plenty of semis and detached homes with lawns front and back. Older lawns there often end up thin and mossy, and replacing the lawn gives a clean start.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Do you cover the villages around Durham?

Yes, including Pity Me, Bearpark, Ushaw Moor, Brandon, Langley Moor, Sherburn, Bowburn and Shincliffe. If yours isn't listed, ask anyway.

Our garden is only reached by steps. Can it still be turfed?

Steps and narrow paths are common in Durham and can be allowed for. Tell us how the garden is reached when you ask for your quote.

Can you turf a small terraced back garden?

Yes. Small gardens are welcome, and a neat patch of lawn can make a big difference to a terraced yard.
