Generally, we encourage re-sodding instead of seeding in 95% of cases we come across, as seeding takes far longer to generate a full lawn, often 2-3 years to mature, whereas sod yields an… Instant Lawn! We do not provide seeding services.
Contrary to all other landscapers we’ve came across who don’t warrantee new lawns, we offer the, Best in Industry, 90 day warrantee.
Included in our cost of re-sodding is:
  • Rototilling or the removal and disposal of your old lawn.
  • A minimum of 3 inches of a premium organic residential screened topsoil.
  • Sod installation within 24 hours of it being harvested from the sod farm.
  • The setup of your sprinkle system immediately after the installed.
  •  Watering and maintenance instructions.
  • Minor grading and evening of the new topsoil
*Major grading and extensive changes in height, slope, or elevation is not included in base pricing, however we are happy to provide this service upon request.
This depends on how many square feet we’re installing. Generally, an average size Ottawa lawn can be completed in about half a work day. We almost always have your lawn complete within one full day, unless it is over 3000 square feet. In that case, we will work consecutive days until it is completed – we don’t leave you hanging!
We require a 40% deposit to place your project in the installation queue. The remainder is due upon completion of the project and you’re ecstatic about your new lawn.

We’ve been in the business of serving customers for over 10 years! We’ve seen that, generally speaking, contractors are unreliable, (we don’t blame them they’re wearing too many different hats), very expensive, and busy. On the other hand, some are cheap and offer unrealistic solutions or leave you hanging with an incomplete job with no way out. In our outrage, we decided to fully professionalize the business of affordable and realistic landscaping for the average home owner. We don’t believe that two local handymen are adequate, nor do we believe that a lawn should be $10,000 to $50,000 as some executive landscapers say.
