Our Step-by-Step Lawn Replacement & Grass Installation Process
We have spent over a decade perfecting our lawn installation in Richmond Hill. Our systematic, professional approach ensures that every square foot of your new yard is installed to the highest industry standards.
Old Grass Removal & Site Clearing
We use specialized sod cutters to cleanly strip away your old, dead, or weed-infested grass. We remove the old turf down to the root level, ensuring that invasive weeds and crabgrass do not grow back through your new sod. All old material is loaded onto our trucks and hauled away for eco-friendly composting.
Soil Aeration & Rototilling
Once the site is cleared, we rototill the underlying soil. This is especially critical in Richmond Hill's clay-heavy areas, as it loosens the compacted earth and prepares it to blend with our incoming topsoil.
Premium Topsoil & Grading
We spread a thick layer of weed-free, organic topsoil across the entire area. Our team then performs meticulous hand-raking and grading. We ensure the ground slopes gently away from your house, patios, and walkways to guarantee perfect drainage.
Fresh Sod Laying
Our sod is harvested fresh from local farms and delivered to your property the very same morning. We lay the sod rolls in a staggered, brick-like pattern. This eliminates continuous seams and prevents water from washing away the soil between the rolls. We tightly butt the edges together without overlapping to create a seamless, uniform carpet of green.
Heavy Rolling & Initial Watering
After the sod is laid, we run a heavy, water-filled lawn roller over the entire yard. This crucial step presses the sod roots firmly into our premium topsoil, eliminating air pockets and ensuring the roots can immediately begin absorbing moisture. We then initiate a deep, thorough watering to kickstart the rooting process.

Really great experience with sod installation! Raphael, Michael, and all other employees were very nice, professional, and helpful. I was on a tight deadline and they went out of their way to make sure my sod was installed in time.

Richmond Hill Sodding & Lawn Replacement FAQs
Get expert answers tailored specifically to Richmond Hill soil types, local weather conditions, watering rules, and sod installation pricing.
In Richmond Hill, full-service sodding typically ranges from $1.50 to $3.00+ per square foot. The exact price depends on existing lawn removal requirements, total square footage, soil grading needs, and topsoil volume.
The optimal windows for sod installation in Southern Ontario are Late Spring (May to June) and Early Autumn (September to October) when moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall promote rapid root anchoring.
However, farm-fresh sod can be installed anytime from early spring through late fall, as long as the ground is not frozen.
Richmond Hill has unique soil profiles across neighborhoods. In Oak Ridges, sandy moraine soil drains quickly, so we incorporate moisture-retaining organic compost. In Bayview Hill & Elgin Mills, heavy clay subsoils require tilling and 2+ inches of nutrient-rich triple mix topsoil to prevent water pooling and compaction.
Avoid walking on your new sod for the first 10 to 14 days while root knit takes place. You can perform your first mow after approximately 2 to 3 weeks, once the roots resist gentle upward pulling. Set your mower deck high (3 inches) for the first cut.
We use 100% farm-fresh, weed-free Kentucky Bluegrass sod blends harvested from local Southern Ontario turf farms on the morning of installation. Kentucky Bluegrass is ideal for Richmond Hill’s cold winters, warm summers, and high foot-traffic residential yards.
York Region and the Town of Richmond Hill allow watering exceptions for newly installed sod. New sod requires deep daily watering twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) for the first 14 days to establish root contact.
