Our Sod Installation Process Niagara


Site Preparation – Remove old grass, weeds, and debris. Niagara’s clay and sandy soils are prepared with soil amendments to encourage root growth.


Grading & Leveling – Ensure proper drainage, particularly on slopes and low spots, to prevent pooling or erosion.


Laying the Sod – Ontario-grown sod is placed in a staggered pattern to ensure seamless coverage. Curves and obstacles are cut precisely for a perfect fit.


Rolling & Watering – A sod roller eliminates air pockets, and deep watering encourages roots to bond with the soil.


Aftercare Instructions – Homeowners receive guidance on watering, mowing, and fertilizing schedules to keep their sod healthy and vibrant.

Get that New Lawn Wet

You will want to water the new sod as soon as it has been installed, for the next 14 days you will want to water your area for at least 45 minutes, we recommended picking up a sprinkler so you're not spending 1 hour of your day standing there. Alternatively, manually water your lawn 2-3 times a day spending 10-15 minutes at a time. PRO TIP, make sure you really water the edges your sod is beside such as a sidewalk/ driveway. 


After 14 days, space out our lawn watering for 1 hour per watering every 2-3 days. 

Let it grow then let it Mow

After the first 14 days of watering make sure your lawns have rooted to the ground, you can check by 2-3 soft tugs near the roots to ensure that your lawn has fully rooted to the lawn. 


On your first and second lawn mowing cut make sure that your lawn mower is on the highest setting. On the next 2-3 cuts you can gradually lower the mower setting.  

It Helps

At Monarch Landscaping we apply a thin layer of fertilizer with every installation,  after the install we recommend waiting 6-8 weeks.


Pro Tip: Fertilizer should be watered in or applied just before it rains to ensure you don't burn your lawn.
