Sod Installation.

New lawn in a single day.

What we do

Fresh turf, laid right, rooted by sundown.

Tear-out, soil prep, grading and fresh roll-out turf. New lawn in a single day, residential or commercial. We remove old turf, amend the soil, fine-grade for drainage, and lay fresh Kentucky Bluegrass sod, rolled tight and watered on completion.

Whether it's a full yard replacement or patching after construction, we handle the complete process from removal to aftercare guidance.

Common questions

Sod Installation FAQ

With proper watering, sod begins rooting within 10 to 14 days. Full establishment takes about 4 to 6 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions on install day.

No. We always remove the old lawn first. Laying sod over dead or existing grass traps moisture and prevents root contact with the soil.

Spring through early fall is ideal. We can install sod from May to October in Durham Region. Early fall is excellent because cooler temperatures reduce watering needs.
