Lawns that suit a let

Rental gardens work best kept simple. A plain rectangle of lawn with clean edges is easy for tenants to mow and easy to keep looking tidy between visits.

In Durham City, where many terraced houses are let to students, small back yards and front strips can be turfed as well as full gardens.

Other services

  • New striped back lawn with straight edges, a gravel strip and sleeper beds behind a brick house

    New lawns

    Bare soil, a cleared garden or somewhere that's never had grass: ground prepared and fresh turf laid.

  • Neglected back garden behind a stone terrace, with mossy, patchy grass and bare muddy patches

    Lawn replacement

    Tired, patchy or mossy grass lifted and taken away, then a new lawn laid in its place.

  • Red-brick semi on a modern estate with a neat new front lawn beside a block-paved drive

    New-build gardens

    Builder's soil turned into a proper lawn, front and back, for a home you've just moved into.

  • Landscaping rake levelling fresh soil in a back garden, ready for new turf

    Ground preparation and topsoil

    Levelling, stone picking and fresh topsoil where it's needed, so new turf has a good bed.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Can tenants be in while the lawn is laid?

Yes, as long as they're happy for the team to get into the garden and use an outside tap. Just let us know when you ask.

Do you send the quote to the agent or the landlord?

Whoever fills in the form receives the quote. Add anyone else who needs to see it in the notes.

Can one enquiry cover several houses?

Yes. Choose Landlord or Trade and list each address in the notes.
