Turfing and New Lawns for homes in Hickling
Landscaping Norfolk provides turfing and new lawns in Hickling and across the wider North Norfolk area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so Hickling is well within our normal working area.
Hickling sits beside the largest of the Broads, with Hickling Heath and Hickling Green making up a spread-out village of cottages and bungalows. The ground is peaty and wet in places, and we plan every base and post hole with that in mind.
A new lawn is only ever as good as the preparation. We rotavate, clear stones and roots, level and grade, add topsoil where it is needed and then lay quality turf or sow seed, so the lawn establishes evenly and stays level.
Local knowledge
Turfing & New Lawns and the ground around Hickling
Ground near the Broads around Hickling can be wet and peaty, which is fine for grass as long as the drainage is right. We level the ground, add topsoil where it is needed and put in land drains where a lawn would otherwise sit in water.
In villages like Hickling it is important that new work sits comfortably with older buildings. We match materials to the local character, whether that means flint, red brick, gravel or natural stone, and keep the site tidy and neighbours informed.

Turfing & New Lawns in Hickling: common questions
Do you cover Hickling for turfing and new lawns?
Yes. Hickling (NR12) is within our regular working area and we carry out turfing and new lawns there and in the surrounding villages. We visit to measure up and quote, and travel is included in the price.

When is the best time to lay turf?
Turf can be laid most of the year, but spring and autumn are ideal because the ground is warm and moist. Summer laying is fine if you can keep it watered. Seeding is best in April to May or September.
How soon can I walk on new turf?
Keep off it for two to three weeks while the roots knit into the soil, except for watering. Give the first cut when it has grown to around 50mm and the turf cannot be lifted.
Turf or seed?
Turf gives an instant lawn and is more forgiving. Seed is cheaper for large areas and gives you a wider choice of grass types, but takes longer to establish. Preparation is the same for both.
