Precision and Perfection in Sod Installation

Our experienced crew begins the installation process by carefully laying each roll of sod with precision. We stagger the seams to create a seamless appearance, ensuring a visually appealing and uniform surface.


Once the sod is laid (typically its Kentucky bluegrass) we lightly roll over it to ensure good soil-to-sod contact. Proper watering is essential for sod establishment, so we water the newly installed sod thoroughly, ensuring that it's evenly saturated.


At Monarch Landscaping, we prioritize communication and collaboration with our clients, and that includes me understanding your specific preferences and expectations.

New Sod After Install Maintenance Tips for Hamilton & Burlington Home Owners

Monarch Landscaping prides ourselves in our detailed care approach for your brand new lawn in the Hamilton, Burlington and surrounding areas.

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.
