Sod installation and lawn care in Thornhill
A new lawn is one of the quickest ways to change how a Thornhill home looks from the street. ISR Gardening Inc. installs sod and cares for lawns across Thornhill, Concord, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and the surrounding GTA, and we have completed over 1,000 lawns across the region.
Most of our Thornhill work is full lawn replacement: taking out a tired, patchy or weed-filled lawn and putting down a fresh one that is ready to use in about two weeks. We also handle lawn repair, overseeding, aeration and seasonal maintenance for homeowners who want the lawn looked after all year.
What full sod installation in Thornhill includes
- Removal of the old lawn, weeds and debris, hauled away.
- Fresh topsoil spread over the whole area, since many Thornhill properties, especially newer homes and infill builds, sit on heavy clay.
- Grading by hand so water drains away from the house and the surface is level.
- Fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass sod laid tight with staggered seams, trimmed around beds, walkways and the driveway.
- Rolling and first watering before the crew leaves, plus clear watering instructions for the first two weeks.
- Cleanup so the only thing left on the driveway is your new lawn.
When to install sod in Thornhill
Fall and spring are both good. Fall is usually better here: warm soil, cool nights and fall rain mean faster rooting and less watering, and the lawn comes out of winter established. Sod can go down until the ground freezes, so October installs are common. Summer installs are possible with daily watering. See our guide on how late you can lay sod in Thornhill, or the best time to lay sod in Southern Ontario.
Lawn care in Thornhill after the install
New sod needs two weeks of steady watering and a first mow on a high setting once it reaches about 3 inches. After that, a healthy Thornhill lawn wants aeration and overseeding each fall, fertilizing in spring and fall, and weed control before dandelions set seed. We offer all of it as a yearly maintenance package or as single visits. If your lawn is mostly there and just thin, overseeding may be the better fit; see our comparison of sodding vs. overseeding.
