Artificial Grass & Fake Lawn Installers in County Durham

Here’s Why We Love Installing Artificial Grass in County Durham

Over the years we have supplied artificial grass to many Durham local residents, and it’s such a fantastic part of the country.

Your local Durham NeoGrass Approved Installers have been fitting artificial lawns across the county for several years.

County Durham has a population of over half a million residents, and covers 862 square miles, including a significant part of the North Pennines. The natural landscape is breathtaking. High Force, in the Durham Dales, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in England, and Hamsterley Forest comprises 2,000 hectares of beautiful woodland scenery.

Durham is ‘the land of the Prince Bishops’, so named because in the 11^th century the Bishop of Durham was granted secular powers – for example, he could raise an army, print money, and collect taxes. For centuries, Durham existed pretty much as an independent state, ruled by its Prince-Bishop, who lived in Durham Castle.

The county town of Durham is dominated by its castle and cathedral, both of which date from the 11^th century. The city has a well-deserved reputation as a centre for learning – Durham University is one of four in England that lay claim to being the third-oldest, the two oldest universities being Oxford and Cambridge.

The whole of County Durham is steeped in history, with castles, abbeys, churches and more, both in good shape and in ruins. Piercebridge has two Roman sites – the bridge and the fort – both of which are open to the public.

The market town of Barnard Castle – or Barney, as it’s more commonly known – takes its name from the ruined 12^th century castle overlooking the Tees Gorge. As well as the ruins, there’s a sensory garden, filled with scented plants and tactile objects, for visitors to explore. Barney is also the site of the Bowes Museum, a magnificent purpose-built 19^th-century building that houses paintings, porcelain and more – there’s even a life-sized silver swan automaton, that is still operated daily.

Beamish Museum is a treasure trove, a huge open-air site with buildings, artefacts, livestock, vehicles and costumed interpreters. There’s a mine, and a row of miner’s cottages; a school; a farm; and even a working pub. Take a trip to the dentist’s house – if you’re brave enough!

Comedian, Rowan Atkinson; actor, Alun Armstrong; and Olympian rower, Jessica Eddie, were all born in County Durham – and serial poisoner, Mary Ann Cotton, was hanged there, at Durham Jail, in 1873.

There are many parks and gardens to explore in Durham, including Chester-le-Street’s Riverside Park, Durham University’s Botanic Garden and the stunning Crook Hall and Gardens.
