Every step a new Markham lawn needs to take root
Old lawn removal
Existing turf, weeds and debris stripped out and hauled away.
Grading & levelling
The yard is graded so water drains away from the house and the surface is even.
Topsoil
Fresh topsoil spread and raked so new roots have something to grow into.
Fresh sod
Sod laid tight with staggered seams and rolled for good contact with the soil.
Watering instructions
Clear instructions for the first few weeks, when new sod needs the most water.
Commercial lawns
New turf for Markham plazas, condo grounds and office campuses, scheduled around tenants.
New lawns for Markham homes and commercial properties
We install sod across Markham, from established yards in Unionville, Markham Village and Milliken to newer builds in Cornell, Cathedraltown and Berczy Village, where builder-grade sod and grading often need redoing, plus commercial grounds along Highway 7.

Markham sod questions we get asked
When is the best time to lay sod?
Spring and early fall are ideal in the GTA, when temperatures are mild and there's more rain. Sod can go down in summer too, but it needs more watering.
How long before I can use the lawn?
Keep foot traffic off for about two to three weeks while the roots set. The first mow usually comes once the sod has rooted and the grass has grown in.
Can you fix builder-grade sod on a newer Markham home?
Yes. Newer builds often have thin sod laid over compacted fill. We strip it out, loosen and top up the soil, regrade for drainage and lay fresh sod. Laying new sod on top of an old lawn is one of the main reasons it fails, so removal is part of every install.
Are you insured?
Yes. $5M general liability and full WSIB coverage. Certificates are available on request.
