Complete New Lawn Solutions

A new build requires significantly more prep work than a standard lawn replacement. New construction sites are notoriously stripped of nutrients, leaving behind compacted subsoil or clay. We provide end-to-end solutions, including:

Site Grading: Utilizing heavy machinery for proper water runoff and drainage.
Premium Topsoil: Importing a thick layer of organic soil so new roots can thrive.
Irrigation Prep: Trenching and rough-ins before the sod is laid.
Final Finishing: Creating a seamless, curb-ready aesthetic for possession day.

Commercial & Builder Coordination

We speak your language. We regularly partner with Ottawa builders on townhouse developments, model homes, new subdivisions, and commercial lots. We coordinate closely with excavation crews, landscapers, and other trades to ensure final grading, irrigation integration, and sod installations happen on your precise timeline without delaying closing dates.

Sod vs. Seed for New Homes

Should you sod or seed a new construction property? For Ottawa builders and new homeowners, sod is almost always the preferred choice.

Sod provides an instant, erosion-proof finish that meets strict municipal requirements and dramatically boosts curb appeal. Seed and hydroseeding take months to establish, require heavy watering, and leave your brand-new property vulnerable to mud, runoff, and invasive weeds during the growing process.

The New Build Installation Timeline

Proper sequencing is critical on a new build. Here is our standard installation process to protect your investment:

Step 1: On-site assessment and trade coordination.
Step 2: Final grading and construction debris removal.
Step 3: Application of screened topsoil and organic compost.
Step 4: Irrigation system prep and rough-ins (if required).
Step 5: Fresh sod installation (always completed as the final exterior trade).
Step 6: Professional rolling and saturation watering.
