Sod Installation Services in Brampton and Mississauga
Sod installation is the best solution for starting a new lawn or repairing a severely damaged one. Using weed killer spray from hardware stores can take years before you begin seeing results. Our sod is Ontario grown and cultivated by skilled farmers for up to 3 years until it's harvested in 2' x 4' rolls. Sod rolls come complete with topsoil amendments and established roots that penetrate into the earth in a short period of time. Re-sodding your lawn provides instant gratification and has a high success rate. Unlike weed spray programs, installing sod does not release and toxic chemicals into the environment - ensuring both your lawn and our earth remain green!

Important Tips To Maintaining A New Lawn
Watering and Care
Watering is the single most important step in successfully establishing your new lawn. During warm weather you should start watering large sections of installed sod as you are laying the sod if such conditions warrant. To check if your sod needs water, lift up a corner of the sod. During the first 1-2 weeks the bottom of the sod should never be dry.
Not watering enough will cause wilting and dead spots and watering too much will cause poor root establishment and disease leading to dieback. The weather conditions, soil conditions and environment factors, such as shade, will have a large impact and should be considered in deciding how much you need to water. A physical inspection should ultimately determine your watering schedule; however the following schedule can be used as a guide.
Mowing & Maintenance
The first mowing should take place as soon as the sod is rooted in, which can be about 10-21 days after installation. To see if the sod is rooted in; try to pull up a piece of sod and see how tightly it is adhered to the topsoil. Make sure you always have a sharp blade on your mower. If you use a rotary mower we recommend collecting the clippings and composting them. If you use a reel mower you can leave the clippings provided that is does not leave clumps.
The mowing height should be set so that you do not remove more than 1/3 of leave blade per mowing. Mowing the grass too short will cause scalping, damaging the new lawn especially during the initial establishment period. When you receive your new lawn it has been maintained at 1.25" on the farm. The new lawn can be maintained between 1.25 - 2.5", depending on the conditions surrounding it.

- A good soaking on the first day to moisten the sod and topsoil.
- Light watering 2-3 times per day in the first 2 weeks or until the roots are established, to avoid the sod from drying out
- Once the roots are established and you have mowed the lawn for the first time, then you can likely go to daily watering early in morning.
- Continue to water early in the morning on fewer days, as you see fit or as local watering rules dictate. The less you water your lawn without causing stress to the grass the better.
