FAQs
Lawn replacement FAQs for Norwich & Norfolk
Is lawn replacement better than reseeding?
It depends on the ground. If the lawn is very uneven, compacted or full of weeds, replacement is usually the quicker and more reliable solution. If the base is still in reasonable condition, seeding may suit you better.
Do you work with clay soil in Norfolk?
Yes. Many Norwich and Norfolk gardens have clay-heavy soil. We assess levels and drainage first, and improve the base where needed so the new lawn does not hold excess water.
How long does a lawn replacement take?
Most domestic lawn replacements are completed within one to two days, depending on size and access. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Can you improve drainage during a lawn replacement?
Yes, in many cases lawn drainage can be improved. This depends on the condition of the soil and ground preparation, so we always assess the area first and recommend the most effective long-term solution.
Is new turf suitable for homes with dogs?
Yes. Many of the lawns we lay are in gardens with pets. Proper preparation and aftercare help the lawn establish strongly, even in higher-wear areas.
How soon should I water new turf?
Watering should begin immediately after installation. The turf needs consistent moisture while it roots, and we provide simple aftercare guidance for the season.
Do you remove the old turf?
Yes. We lift and dispose of the old turf properly before installing the new lawn, and leave the site tidy.
