Sod Installation And
Lawn Replacement
Old lawn and weed roots removed by machine, soil and grade corrected, Ontario-grown Kentucky Bluegrass laid the day it is cut. Over 300,000 square feet a year.
Site Preparation
A quote that only covers rolling new sod over what is already there will fail inside a season. Weeds grow back through the seams, and the sod never roots into compacted soil. What you are really paying for is removal, soil and grade.
When you compare quotes, check that each one includes machine removal of the old lawn, grading, screened topsoil where it is thin, and fresh sod laid the day it is cut. If any of those are missing, the numbers are not comparable.
Our Process
Most residential lawns are stripped, graded and sodded in one to two days. You get the schedule at the site assessment.
Site assessment
We walk the property with you, measure the area, check drainage and grade, and confirm access for equipment and sod delivery.
Strip the old lawn
Existing grass, weeds and roots are removed by machine, not scalped with a spray. Roots come out so weeds do not come back.
Soil and grade
We test the subsoil, add screened topsoil where it is thin, and grade the surface so water runs away from the house and does not pool.
Fresh sod, same day
Kentucky Bluegrass sod is cut at the farm in Tecumseth, Ontario, delivered and laid the same day in tight, staggered rolls.
Roll and finish
The new lawn is rolled for root-to-soil contact, edges are trimmed along beds and walks, and the site is cleaned up.
Care schedule
You get a written watering and mowing schedule for the first 30 days, and a phone number that answers if you have a question.
Before And After
Removal and grading are what make the difference, not the sod alone.
Clients We Serve
Same crews and same preparation, whether it is a backyard in Springdale or a subdivision frontage in Mount Pleasant.
Homeowners
Front lawns, backyards and side yards, including tight city lots reached only through a gate. Beds, walkways and interlock are protected and the site is left clean.
Builders and developers
New subdivisions, townhouse complexes and boulevard frontages where builder-grade soil never took. Topsoil supplied and placed in volume.
Commercial and institutional
Plazas, industrial frontages, school grounds and sports fields, scheduled around your operating hours and site access.
Watering And Mowing
New sod lives or dies in the first three weeks. This is the schedule we leave with every customer.
Watering
- Day one: soak the sod and topsoil thoroughly. Lift a corner; the underside should be wet.
- Weeks one and two: light watering two to three times a day so the sod never dries out.
- Once rooted and mowed once, water daily in the early morning, then fewer days and deeper.
Mowing
- First cut 10 to 21 days in, once the sod cannot be lifted at the corners.
- Sharp blade, and never take more than a third of the blade height in one pass.
- Keep foot traffic, pets and furniture off the new lawn for the first two weeks.
