Premium Sod Installation
Why Choose Us for Premium Sod Installation?
Sometimes a lawn is too far gone for overseeding to fix. Bare patches, heavy weed infestation, grading problems, or damage from construction — in these cases, starting fresh with new sod is the fastest way to a great-looking lawn. We install premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod that establishes quickly and stands up to the wear and tear of a typical Scarborough yard.
Proper sod installation starts well before the first roll goes down. We strip the old turf, grade the soil to ensure proper drainage away from your foundation, add topsoil or soil amendments where needed, and compact everything to create a smooth, level surface. Skipping these steps leads to bumpy, poorly draining lawns that look bad within the first year.
We source our sod from local Ontario farms that grow dense, weed-free turf on muck soil. It arrives fresh and gets installed the same day so the roots stay healthy. After installation, we walk you through the watering schedule and first-mow timing so you get the best possible establishment. Most lawns are fully rooted and ready for normal use within three to four weeks.

Premium Sod Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our premium sod installation services in Scarborough.
How much does sod installation cost?
Sod installation including soil prep, grading, and premium Kentucky Bluegrass typically runs $3 to $5 per square foot installed. The final price depends on the amount of grading and soil work needed. A typical front and back yard runs $3,000 to $6,000. We quote on-site.
When is the best time to lay sod?
Late spring through early fall is ideal — May to October in Scarborough. Sod can be installed in summer heat as long as it is watered properly. Early fall is actually one of the best times because cooler temperatures and rain help the sod root in with less watering effort.
How long before I can walk on new sod?
Stay off the sod for the first two weeks to let the roots establish. Light foot traffic is fine after two to three weeks. The lawn is usually fully rooted and ready for normal use, including kids and pets, after about four weeks with proper watering.
Can you install sod over my existing lawn?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who says they can. Installing sod over existing grass or weeds leads to poor root contact, uneven surfaces, and failure. We strip the old turf, prepare the soil properly, and then install. It costs a bit more upfront but saves you from having to redo it.
What type of sod do you use?
We install premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod sourced from local Ontario growers. Kentucky Bluegrass is the top choice for Scarborough lawns — it produces a dense, deep green turf that handles foot traffic well and recovers from wear. The sod is grown on muck soil for maximum root density and arrives fresh on the morning of installation.
How much watering does new sod need?
New sod needs consistent watering for the first 2-3 weeks. Water twice daily for the first week (early morning and late afternoon), once daily for week two, and every other day for week three. After that, transition to a regular deep watering schedule of about 1 inch per week. We provide a detailed watering guide with every installation.
Is sod installation better than grass seeding?
Sod gives you an instant lawn that is fully established and usable within 3-4 weeks. Seeding is significantly cheaper but takes 8-12 weeks to fill in, requires careful watering, and is vulnerable to washout, birds, and weed competition during establishment. For homeowners who want immediate results and are willing to invest in quality, sod is the superior option.
Can you fix drainage problems during sod installation?
Yes, and this is one of the biggest advantages of professional sod installation. Since we strip the old lawn and regrade the soil, we can correct drainage issues at the same time — directing water away from your foundation and eliminating low spots where water pools. Many clients find that their drainage problems disappear after a proper sod installation.
