A well-manicured, green lawn is a beautiful sight. Its soft blades are perfect for outdoor family fun and add value to your home. However, growing a lawn from seeds takes a lot of time and effort – it can take up to 18 months. Achieving the lawn you’ve always wanted shouldn’t be a hassle.
Sodding is the secret to creating an appealing landscape that surrounds your home. The beauty a healthy lawn adds to your yard cannot be overstated. Sod grass installation is the process of transferring pre-grown grass onto moist dirt in your yard that has been levelled and prepped. Since the roots of the grass are attached to the turf, it is easily transferable to your yard and is the most convenient way to establish a loan on your property.
We understand just how busy life can be, that’s why it is our priority to deliver beautiful instant lawns to homeowners in Scarborough at an affordable rate. Allow us to tend to your lawn so you can devote more time to the things you enjoy.
Once sod installation is complete, you will need to water your grass regularly for the first two weeks for the soil to remain moist.


Why Install Sod in Scarborough?
There are several reasons why homeowners in Scarborough are choosing to install sod grass overseeding.
- Beautiful green lawn in less time – installing sod in your yard will give you an instant lawn. Seeding typically takes several weeks for the grass to germinate and grow. This is not the case with sodding; the results are immediate. Sodding gives you a better-looking lawn in far less time than seeding.
- Thicker, healthier grass – sodding yields a thicker lawn than grass grown from seeds, making your lawn healthier and more vibrant. And since the grass is thicker, your soil will be healthier because the sod will protect your soil from weather elements like erosion. With sod you don’t have to worry about lots of weeds that typically grow with grass seeds.
- Cost-effective and environmentally friendly – after the turf is installed in your yard, you will only need to water the grass daily for a maximum of two weeks. Grass seeds, on the other hand, need to be watered four times a day for the first month before the seeds germinate and grow. The excessive watering will drive up your water bill and may also erode your soil.

Before You Lay New Sod in Scarborough
Local rules and ground conditions that change how a new lawn is installed and looked after in Scarborough. Each one links to the official source.
- Scarborough is under Toronto’s water by-law: no routine watering schedule, but no watering that runs into the gutter, street or storm drain (Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 851).
- The Scarborough Bluffs are what is left of the old Lake Iroquois shoreline, and the City notes Toronto soils range from well-drained sand to poorly drained clay (City of Toronto). We check which one your yard has before choosing how much topsoil to add.

Is Scarborough soil sandy or clay?
Both are common. Toronto’s soils run from fast-draining sand to heavy clay, and the right prep depends on which one is in your yard.

No standing limits in Toronto. Just keep the water on the lawn and off the street.
Who maintains the boulevard?
The homeowner, including cutting the grass and weeding.
