What this surface does well
Working in your area
Dunston is characterised by riverside residential streets near the MetroCentre and Team Valley. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gateshead and Whickham too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of artificial grass spec that actually holds up here.

Common questions from homeowners
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Ellison Road-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
What happens if it rains?+
Some phases (excavation, sub-base) run fine in rain. Surfaces like tarmac and resin need dry, in-tolerance conditions, so we'll reschedule those days rather than compromise the finish.
Do you take a deposit?+
A modest deposit secures the start date and covers materials being ordered. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the job with us.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
Do you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Dunston (NE11) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Gateshead and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
