Artificial Turf Installation in Heaton
WM Driveways is a Newcastle-based team covering Heaton and the surrounding Newcastle City Council area. We specialise in artificial turf lawns and treat every job — from a small NE6 frontage to a full-property overhaul — with the same attention to detail.
The short version
Artificial Turf Installation works in Heaton generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.
On this page we've set out how WM Driveways approaches artificial grass in the NE6 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.

What this surface does well
Working in your area
Heaton is characterised by classic Tyneside flats and terraces with compact front yards and back lanes. That means access is often tight and skip placement needs to be agreed with neighbours. We routinely work across Jesmond and Byker 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
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Chillingham 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.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential artificial turf lawns the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.
How long does the work take?+
Most residential artificial turf lawns take between two and five working days once site prep starts. Timings depend on size, weather and how much excavation the existing surface needs.
Do you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Heaton (NE6) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Newcastle and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
