Whickham’s village character and mature gardens
Whickham’s historic centre carries a genuine village feel, with older properties and mature gardens that have had considerably longer to establish than the area’s later residential streets. Its proximity to Gibside and the surrounding countryside gives Whickham more of a rural edge than most of Gateshead’s more urban districts, and gardens on the village’s fringes sometimes back directly onto open countryside or woodland.
Close to Gibside and open countryside
Gardens on Whickham’s outer edges, closer to Gibside and the surrounding countryside, sometimes call for the same kind of rural boundary and hedge work we carry out further into Northumberland and County Durham, alongside more typical suburban garden maintenance closer to the village centre.
Pricing
What it costs
Pricing depends on the tree and property type, older village-centre gardens with mature trees generally involve larger, more established specimens than the area’s later housing.
