If you have searched “who sells turf near me”, you are almost certainly looking for three things:

1. A reliable local supplier,

2. High-quality turf that will actually take, and

3. Clear, honest advice so you do not waste time or money.

The 5 Questions Customers Ask Most

Do I need to lay turf the same day?
Ideally yes, but no panic if you cannot. Keep it watered and it will still take, even a few days after cutting.

Do I need topsoil?
Topsoil is not mandatory, but strongly recommended for best results.

How much turf do I need?
Length × width = total m². Or use our online calculator for accuracy.

Can turf be laid in winter?
Yes, all year round, except when the ground is frozen. Winter-laid turf often establishes well for spring.

How big is a turf roll?
Each roll covers 1m².

 

Best Time of Year to Lay Turf in the North East

• Ideal: February–July and September–November

• Possible: All year round (weather permitting)

During hot spells, watering is critical. For mowing:

• Wait until the turf is rooted

• First mow on a high blade setting

• Gradually lower over subsequent cuts

If you cut too short early on, do not panic. Grass recovers with moisture and time.

 

Local Soil and Climate Considerations

North East gardens experience:

• Regular rainfall

• Consistent wind exposure

In coastal or sandy areas, additional topsoil helps prevent drying and improves root uptake. These local factors are why regionally grown turf performs better here than imported alternatives.

 

Why Trust Newcastle Turf?

• Established since 2019

• Hundreds of local installs and deliveries across domestic, trade and new-build gardens
