Why Proper Grading Matters in Canada

• Prevents Water Pooling & Drainage Issues
  Improper grading can lead to water collecting near foundations or low-lying areas, causing erosion, flooding, or basement leaks—especially in spring and during heavy Canadian rains or snowmelt.

• Supports Healthy Root Development
  Even, well-drained soil allows sod roots to establish quickly and grow uniformly.

• Improves Lawn Longevity
  Final grading sets the foundation for a long-lasting, low-maintenance lawn by minimizing soil compaction and ensuring consistent growth conditions.

Our Final Grade & Sod Installation Process

• Site Assessment & Soil Preparation
  We inspect your site to evaluate drainage patterns, slope, and soil quality. Then we remove debris, rocks, or compacted soil and amend the soil if needed for better sod performance.

• Laser or Hand Grading
  Using precision tools, we level and shape the surface to promote runoff away from structures, ensuring proper drainage and smooth contours.

• Sod Selection & Delivery
  We supply premium, locally sourced sod blends appropriate for your region—such as Kentucky Bluegrass for cooler climates or drought-tolerant mixes for drier areas.

• Professional Sod Installation
  Our team installs sod in a staggered pattern to avoid seams and rolls it for maximum soil contact, ensuring fast root establishment.

• Watering & Care Instructions
  After installation, we water thoroughly and provide clear aftercare instructions to help your new lawn thrive through the critical establishment period.

Why Choose Sod Over Seeding?

• Instant Green Coverage
  Unlike seeding, sod provides a finished look right away and is usable much faster.

• Erosion Control
  Especially important in sloped areas or after construction projects.

• Fewer Weeds
  Sod forms a dense mat that naturally suppresses weed growth during establishment.
