Deciding on who to work with for a significant pool and landscaping project is never without its risks. Will the project be completed on time and on budget? Will it exceed expectations? Will the process be smooth, and most importantly, fun?

Tom and his team replaced our retaining wall, or what was left of it ( very old! ). From the start we felt comfortable with Tom and his vision of the final product. His team was hard working all day and clearly have a great working

Overview

Built right the first time.

Great sod starts under the sod. We grade for proper drainage away from the house, add screened topsoil where needed, and roll the base before a single piece goes down.

Sod is laid in a brick pattern with tight seams, cut clean against beds and walkways, and rolled in to ensure root contact. We finish with a watering plan so you know exactly what to do for the first three weeks.

Frequently asked

Good questions, straight answers.

When can I walk on the new sod?+

Light foot traffic only for the first 2–3 weeks while roots establish. After that you're good to go.

How much water does new sod need?+

A lot, at first. Deep watering daily for the first week, then taper down over weeks 2–3. We leave you a detailed schedule.

What's the best time of year to install sod?+

Spring and early fall are ideal in Southern Ontario. Mid-summer installs are possible but need extra water. We can install through most of the season.
