Sod Installation
OUR SODDING PROCESS:
Unlike many other companies we do not use a roto-tiller to mix the existing lawn, weeds and soil. This not only doesn't remove any of the weeds but also mixes your lawns layer of topsoil with the subsoils which is often times full of clay. Quite frankly rototilling is a cheap and easy way for a contractor to not have to remove and dispose of a lot of extra waste and soil. It might be cheaper and easier but it's not going to lead to a healthy lush lawn.
We do sodding right! We use a sod cutter (not a rototiller) to remove the entire existing lawn down to the bare soil, add a layer of top quality triple mix over the whole lawn area, then grade the area for proper drainage and install fresh sod cut that day. We take leveling the soil very seriously, a properly graded lawn will drain water away from your home and allow your new lawn to grow properly. Without proper grading water can drain towards your house leading to serious water damage. Trust the pros to do it right! We have many years of experience in grading and sodding and have worked with some of the area's largest home builders and many happy residential customers to sod hundreds of homes in the Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding area.
We provide upfront flat rate pricing with no tricky 'starting at' prices. We charge a FLAT RATE of $1.50 per square foot. This includes the removal, disposal, sod installation and the fresh cut new sod. Many other companies will charge varying prices based on size or how busy they are and hidden fees for disposal and dumping. We don't ! We charge a flat rate for sod installation all year round. The only additional price you pay with us is for soil which is $150 per yard and includes the soil, delivery and installation. This is because some lawns may need more or less soil depending on the grading. We make sure you have the right amount of soil to do the job right! Typically 400 sq ft will require 1 yard of new soil to provide a fresh layer of soil for your lawn to thrive. We also make sure to stick to our quotes!

Why Sod?
|
Seeding v.s Sodding
• Establishment for seeding is longer
• Time for seeding is limited to spring and late summer/early fall • High temperatures and insufficient water will dry out seed • Weeds can become a problem because of the bare soil associated with seeding • With seeding the area is inaccessible until the seed is fully established, could be weeks |
New Sod Maintenance
• Sod should root in about 14 days.
• Water ever day for the first week, then every second day the following week • Mow using the "1/3 rule". Do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at one time. Gradually mow down to 2-2.5 inch height. • Fertilize as per regular schedule • Avoid walking on until the sod has rooted For more information on Sod Maintenance
