Who This Service Is For


Our sod watering service in Hamilton & Burlington is ideal for a wide range of clients, including:



Homeowners with newly installed sod
If you’ve just had sod installed, the first few weeks are critical. Consistent, proper watering helps your sod establish strong roots and prevents early browning, shrinking, or patchy growth.


Rental properties and landlords
For rental homes and multi-unit properties, maintaining curb appeal is essential. Our watering service ensures your new lawn stays healthy without relying on tenants to manage watering schedules.


Real estate listings preparing for sale
A fresh, green lawn can significantly improve first impressions and property value. We help keep new sod looking its best during showings and open houses.


Busy homeowners who don’t have time to manage watering
Not everyone has the time or availability to water multiple times per day. We handle the scheduling, monitoring, and adjustments so you don’t have to worry about missing critical watering periods.


Clients without irrigation systems
If your property doesn’t have an in-ground sprinkler system, proper sod watering can be difficult. We provide the equipment and expertise needed to ensure even, consistent coverage.


If you’ve just installed sod, this service can truly make the difference between a thriving, established lawn and one that struggles or fails during the most important stage.

How Long Does New Sod Need Watering?


Most new sod requires 2–3 weeks of consistent watering to properly establish roots and bond with the soil underneath.

During this critical establishment period, sod typically needs:

  • Daily watering, and sometimes twice per day in hot or dry weather
  • Deep, even saturation of both the sod and the soil below — not light surface sprinkling
  • Adjustments based on rainfall, temperature, and sun exposure


Missing watering sessions or watering too lightly can cause sod to dry out, shrink, or fail to root properly. This early stage is when most sod problems happen.
