Turf laying in Peterlee
Turf laying in Peterlee, Horden and Easington
Peterlee was built as a new town after the war, named after the miners' leader Peter Lee, and its estates still have plenty of open-plan front gardens and generous green space. We lay fresh lawns across the town and the villages around it.

Peterlee gardens
Open-plan fronts
Many Peterlee streets were laid out with open front gardens rather than walls and hedges. With the lawn on show, a worn or weedy front garden stands out, and fresh turf brings it back in line with the street.
Back gardens
Back gardens on the older estates are often a straightforward rectangle, which makes them simple to lift and relay. Newer homes around the town tend to have builder's lawns that benefit from proper preparation.
Rental homes
With plenty of rented homes in the area, landlords often turf between tenancies. See our landlord service.
