Our Sod Installation Process Oakville
1. Site Preparation
We start by removing old grass, weeds, and debris. This step is crucial in areas like Cambridge’s clay-based soils or Oakville’s mix of sandy and compacted soils, where healthy growth requires a fresh, clean surface.
2. Soil Grading & Enrichment
The ground is leveled to ensure proper drainage, preventing water from pooling after heavy rain or snowmelt. We also add nutrient-rich topsoil or compost to give the sod a strong foundation.

3. Laying the Sod
Premium Ontario-grown sod is laid in a staggered, brick-like pattern. This prevents seams from lining up and ensures even coverage. Around curves, trees, and garden beds, we trim for a perfect fit.
4. Rolling & Watering
Once the sod is placed, we roll it with professional equipment to eliminate air pockets and press the sod firmly into the soil. The lawn is then thoroughly watered so the sod starts bonding with the ground right away.
5. Aftercare & Maintenance Plan
We don’t just leave you guessing. Our team provides detailed instructions for watering, mowing, and fertilizing. For example:
Watering: Keep soil moist for the first 10–14 days until roots establish.
Mowing: Wait until the sod is rooted before the first cut (usually 2–3 weeks).
Fertilizing: Light fertilization is recommended after the sod has taken hold.
Why Sod Installation Matters in Oakville
Oakville is known for its upscale neighbourhoods, family-friendly communities, and lakeside living. Homeowners here take pride in maintaining beautiful properties, and a lush green lawn is a big part of that curb appeal.
With premium homes in areas like Bronte, Glen Abbey, and Joshua Creek, sod installation is one of the quickest ways to achieve a healthy, finished lawn that complements Oakville’s high standard of living.
Because Oakville sits on Lake Ontario’s shoreline, its soil often contains a mix of clay and sandy textures. That can make growing grass from seed inconsistent and time-consuming.
Sod installation solves this problem by delivering instant coverage and long-term durability that adapts well to Oakville’s climate — cold winters, hot summers, and moderate rainfall in spring and fall.
What to Know Before the Install?
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.
