Featured Reviews for Sod Installers in Ottawa

Green Roots Landscaping Inc
Sod Installers in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 16, 2012
“We found Green Roots Landscaping Inc. on Houzz and are so pleased that we went with their company to have our front yard designed and landscaped both with stone work and plantings. The existing front steps were closed in with an outdated garden strip so Green Roots Landscaping Inc. removed the strip, opened up the step area with a generous new patio step and patio stones and ran the open area along the driveway allowing for easier access to getting in or out of cars. The small and unsightly, even boring yard took on a new life. We now are the proud owners of a modern yard with grasses and love watching their movement in the wind! A planting of a witchhazel tree punctuates the garden and is uplighted to be admired by all that pass by. We love what Green Roots Landscaping Inc. have done with our front yard. They were professional and hard working for all that transpired in our yard, took them one day to complete. We would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks Ryan!”

“Instant Lawns took my ugly, messy backyard of gravel and weeds and made it look terrific. They were quick to do the estimate, did a brilliant job of installation and charged a fair price. My lawn grew in thick with no problems whatsoever. Throughout, they were excellent communicators over scheduling and follow up. I would recommend them highly”
Green Works Contracting
Sod Installers in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 9, 2015
“Excellent work and service! After getting 5-6 estimates, i decided to go with Green works who was very attentive to our specific needs, efficient and clear upfront about total cost involved. Their pricing was competitive and their skills/workmanship were exemplary. This was a small project but design was important since the interlock stone deck is front facing and extented outdoor living space. The end product was simply perfect and completed within timeframe...The owner Kel and his small team of experts were very professional, super tidy and respectful of neighbours. Thank you for delivering a top-notch deck! Carole”

Majore Landscaping
Sod Installers in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 8, 2016
“Majore Landscaping has performed two major projects for us. In both cases I had ideas of how the project should be performed. Doug discussed the projects in detail to understand my requirements and then proposed much better solutions. The first project in August 2000 was to design and then build a garden water feature that included two ponds and an interconnecting stream. The main pond is approximately 30 feet diameter and 3 feet deep. The pond was designed by Majore Landscaping and they organized all aspects related to construction and the sourcing of such items as pumps and filters. The cost was in the order of $22,000. Minor adjustments were required after many months of use and these were provided at no cost. The second project was to provide access to the front of our house by means of a series of stone paving steps and also associated landscaping with trees and shrubbery. Again after listening to our requirements Doug provided drawings showing proposed solutions. This project was in 2004 at a cost of approximately $9000. In both projects Doug's solutions were better than my original ideas and the projects were provided at the quoted price and on time. As an indication of my satisfaction I referred Doug to close friends who also engaged Doug for projects.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
