Gardens in Bessacarr
Bessacarr runs out along Bawtry Road on the south-east side of Doncaster, and its gardens reflect the houses: plenty of detached properties from the inter-war years onwards, with long back gardens, established hedges and big trees. It is a part of town where people tend to stay, so gardens are often being redone for the second or third time.
The ground here is lighter and sandier than the clay nearer the river. That is good news for drainage, and it means lawns dry out quickly in a hot summer. When we lay turf in Bessacarr we usually improve the soil with topsoil first so the new lawn holds moisture. Paving on sandy ground still needs a properly compacted sub-base, as loose sand will move if it is not confined.
Mature trees are the other thing to plan around. Roots need to be respected when digging for patios and paths, and shade from big trees is often the reason a lawn has thinned out. In those spots we often suggest porcelain or sandstone seating areas, or artificial grass, rather than fighting for real grass in deep shade.
