Turf laying in Seaham

Turf laying in Seaham and along the Durham coast

Seaham looks out over the North Sea, with its harbour, beaches and clifftop paths, and a growing number of new homes alongside the older colliery streets of Dawdon and Parkside. Coastal gardens bring a few things of their own to think about.

Turfing a coastal garden

  • Drying breezes

    Wind off the sea dries new turf quickly, so keeping it watered while it roots matters more here.

  • Mixed ground

    Along this coast the ground can be thin and stony in one garden and heavy in the next. Preparation is matched to what's there.

  • Open front gardens

    Many streets have open-plan front lawns, where a fresh turf finish lifts the whole house.

Old streets and new homes

Around the former colliery areas of Dawdon and Parkside there are long terraces with compact gardens, while newer developments around the town have larger lawns front and back.

Whichever you have, the job is the same at heart: clear the old, get the ground right and lay fresh turf.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Will sea air stop new turf growing?

The main thing for a coastal lawn is water. Keep new turf well watered while it roots, especially in breezy weather, and follow the aftercare guidance you're given.

Do you cover Murton, Seaton and Dalton-le-Dale?

Yes, along with Dawdon, Parkside, Deneside, Westlea and Cold Hesledon. Ask about anywhere close by.

Can you turf just our front garden?

Yes. Choose "Front only" for the garden size on the form.
