Our Process
Our 6-Step Sod Installation Process
Soil Testing & Preparation
We test and amend soil pH and nutrients, then till to 4–6 inches and add compost or topsoil. Proper prep is the single most important factor in sod success.
Precise Grading
We grade the surface to ensure positive drainage away from your home's foundation. A smooth, even grade eliminates low spots that collect water.
Premium Sod Selection
We source high-quality Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue and Ryegrass blends suited to Ontario's climate.
Professional Installation
Our crew staggers sod rolls in a brick-like pattern, pressing seams tightly together. Edges are trimmed with precision for a clean finish.
Rolling & First Watering
We roll the entire lawn to eliminate air pockets, then apply a thorough first watering to kickstart rooting.
Aftercare Instructions
You get a detailed watering and mowing schedule. New sod needs daily watering for the first two weeks, then deep watering twice weekly.

FAQ
Sod Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does sod installation take?
Most residential sod installations are completed in a single day. Larger properties or those requiring significant grading may take two days. We always work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property.
When is the best time to install sod in Ontario?
Sod can be installed almost any time the ground is not frozen — typically from late April through early November in the GTA. Spring and early fall are ideal because moderate temperatures and natural rainfall reduce watering demands and speed up rooting.
How soon can I walk on new sod?
We recommend staying off new sod for at least two weeks. After that, light foot traffic is fine. Heavy use — children playing, patio furniture, lawn equipment — should wait until the sod is fully rooted, usually 4–6 weeks post-installation.
How much does sod installation cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the area, site conditions, and any required grading work. Contact us for a free, detailed quote tailored to your specific property.
