Artificial Turf Installation in Low Fell
From compact frontages near Durham Road to larger plots closer to Gateshead, Low Fell homeowners come to WM Driveways when they want artificial turf lawns installed properly the first time — and want to know exactly who is turning up on day one.
How the work is scoped
Artificial Turf Installation works in Low Fell 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 NE9 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Options to pick from
35mm mid-pile
The everyday choice — soft underfoot, holds shape, easy to maintain.
40mm premium pile
Slightly plusher and more realistic tone variation for feature lawns.
Pet-friendly turf + drainage base
Fast-draining base build and turf designed to cope with pets year-round.
The advantages worth knowing
Why the area shapes the spec
Low Fell is characterised by affluent suburb of Victorian villas and generous detached driveways. That means the finish should read sympathetically against period brickwork and stone. We routinely work across Gateshead and Wrekenton too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of artificial grass spec that actually holds up here.

Answers to what we get asked most
Will you tidy up after the job?+
Always. The site is swept and washed down at the end of each day, and we do a full clear-down and handover walk when the job is finished.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
Can you match the existing paving?+
Where products are still in production, yes. Where they aren't, we'll show you the closest current options and how the transition will read on the ground.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
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.
