Local Benefits of Sod in Cambridge

Cambridge is known for its mix of historic neighbourhoods, family-friendly suburbs, and new developments. Many homes sit on soils that are a blend of clay and loam, which can make it tricky to grow grass from seed.


That’s where sod comes in — it gives homeowners a full, green lawn instantly while protecting the soil underneath from erosion, which is especially important in areas with sloped yards or near the Grand River.


With Cambridge’s climate — cold winters, hot summers, and plenty of rainfall in spring and fall — sod installation is often the fastest and most reliable way to establish a healthy lawn. Seed can take months to fill in, but sod provides immediate coverage and durability, perfect for families with kids and pets who want to enjoy their yard without waiting.

Before we install the sod we will provide you a free sod consultation with the cost of how much sod we will need and how long the install will take. Most sod installation jobs can be done in one day though depending on the size of the property it can roll into multiple days.


Before we can install the sod we reach out to Call Before You Dig to ensure that we don't hit any utilities.


Once we know that we are clear we will book a date for the sod install.

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.
