Three kinds of garden in one town
The Headland and the older central terraces have small, hard-surfaced yards where planting happens in pots and the main jobs are clearance, jet washing and keeping the space usable. The inter-war and post-war estates west of the town have conventional lawns and hedges. Seaton Carew sits between sand and salt wind, closer in character to Redcar than to the rest of Hartlepool.
Exposure on the Headland
Very few gardens in the region take more wind than those on the Headland. Anything soft-leaved on the seaward face scorches, fence panels take a beating, and shelter is worth more than ornament. Salt-tolerant shrubs, sturdy boundaries and low, dense planting are the honest answer rather than a struggle with the wrong species.
Sand at Seaton Carew
Gardens behind the beach have free-draining sandy soil that dries out first in a dry spell and blows into patio joints. Borders here need organic matter and mulch to hold water, and lawns do better cut higher through summer than they do watered heavily and cut short.

Fortnightly maintenance £35 to £55, small yard tidy-ups from £150, hedge cutting £45 to £250, clearance from £250 and patio washing from £2.50 per square metre with a minimum charge.
