Frequently Asked Questions
How much do sod installations cost per square foot?
The cost of sod installation varies widely with the size of the job (larger jobs are less expensive per square foot) and the complexity of the installation (grading, weed control, excavation, etc.).
In general, our sod installation services cost about $5.50 per square foot, including the cost of labour, materials and disposal.
What type of grass do you use?
We use locally grown Kentucky Bluegrass. Because bluegrass grows best in full-sun conditions, we blend in a shade seed mix with installation in shadier locations, to improve the health of the turf over the long term.
How do I stop raccoons from digging up the sod?
All of our quotes come with the option to request raccoon proofing for your sod installation. You can have it done at the same time we do your sod installation (if you know raccoons are active in your neighbourhood), or you can request it following installation if raccoons become a nuisance.
To stop raccoons from turning over your sod, we install chicken wire over the entire surface, pegging it down with large landscape staples. This has proven highly effective against raccoons. We typically remove the chicken wire four to six weeks after the sod installation, but in rare cases raccoons are so aggressive that we opt to leave it in place permanently.
