Washington, Tyne and Wear

A planned town needs planned grounds

Washington was designated a new town in 1964 and laid out on purpose: 18 residential villages such as Albany, Oxclose, Concord and Sulgrave, with ten industrial estates alongside them. A town planned that way has a lot of green space built into it: grass between the villages, verges along the roads and boundary hedges round the estates.

That is where a written schedule earns its keep. Instead of a standard round, the frequency is set to each part of the site: the frontage people see from the road, the back verge nobody walks on, the hedge that blocks a sightline at the car park exit.

Washington sits in the City of Sunderland, so it is Sunderland City Council's patch rather than County Durham's. The town has no town council of its own. Our base is in Sacriston, about 7 miles to the south west.

Who we work for in Washington

Estates, villages, schools and houses

The people who look after grounds in Washington are mostly the people who own or manage the buildings. Here is how we help each of them.

business Units on the industrial estates Washington's estates carry the names of northern engineers like Parsons, Armstrong and Stephenson. Lawns, borders and hedges at units there, kept tidy for the customers and staff who arrive every morning.
apartment Managing agents in the villages Communal lawns and shrub beds around flats and housing in the residential villages, cut to the frequency the service charge is paying for.
elderly Care homes and schools Grounds that residents, pupils and visitors use all day. The work is planned around them, and hedge cutting is kept outside the bird nesting season.
home Homeowners Regular grass cutting, hedges, garden tidy ups and turfing for houses anywhere in the town. Domestic work is taken on alongside the commercial contracts.

FAQs

Washington questions

Not covered here? Ring and ask.

Washington is in Sunderland, not County Durham. Do you still cover it?expand_more
Yes. Washington comes under Sunderland City Council, but that makes no difference to us. We cover the whole town, from Sacriston about 7 miles to the south west.
We run a unit on one of the industrial estates. What would you look after?expand_more
Everything outside the building on one schedule: mowing, edging and strimming, hedges and shrubs, the borders at the entrance, leaf clearance off paths and the car park, and the green waste taken away.
Can you leave part of our grass to grow as a meadow?expand_more
Yes. A patch of wildflower meadow can be left standing inside a mown lawn, as in our own photograph, then cut and collected at the end of the season so the flowers come back.
How often would you visit?expand_more
It changes through the year rather than staying fixed. Fortnightly from the first cut in spring, moving to every seven to ten days through peak growth in June and July, then easing off into autumn. The schedule is agreed and written down before the first visit.
What documents can you provide before we commit?expand_more
Insurance details, risk assessments, method statements and references, all on request. Company details are public: Reggie T Landscapes Limited, registered in England and Wales, number 15496162, registered office Unit 4 Plawsworth Road, Sacriston, Durham DH7 6JX.
