All Winnipeg Lawn Care Plans Include:

Site evaluation and measurement

Before ordering and installing the sod, we evaluate your property.
This process includes:

Finding obstacles such as tree roots
Identifying potential drainage issues
Measuring the total footage of the project
Accuracy is essential here—we use the total square footage to determine how much sod we need to order.

Removing existing grass and debris

In order to install the sod, we first remove any existing grass on the property, as well as any weeds, debris, and other obstacles that might impede laying the sod. Using a sod cutter for removing old turf ensures thorough preparation, which is crucial for the health and longevity of the new sod. Depending on the project, we may do this a day or two before the sod is laid to give us a chance to grade and prepare the soil.

Installing sod

Once the soil is prepared, we install the sod. Using peat sod, delivered fresh and in larger rolls, helps retain moisture and provides a more professional appearance. The process involves laying out rolls of Kentucky Bluegrass sod in a special pattern that minimizes the appearance of gaps of dirt between rolls. Our Winnipeg sod installation pros will carefully lay out the sod so that trees and other elements of your landscape are incorporated seamlessly.

Rolling and watering

With the sod laid out, we use a sod roller in order to improve the contact between the grass’ roots and the soil. After rolling, we’ll thoroughly water your new lawn in order to promote growth.

Sod care after installation

We want your new lawn to thrive, so we’ll give you all the information you need to care for your new grass. Depending on the weather, we’ll typically lay sod anytime between mid-May and the end of September. It’s recommended to water the sod twice a day, but in Winnipeg, Mother Nature often helps out with rain during mid-to-late May.

You’ll want to mow your lawn about a week after installation, and we’ll also share recommendations for when to apply fertilizer.

An exciting hobby

Lawn care is a joy

And much more

A well-maintained lawn can significantly increase the value of your property. Sod installation is a quick and effective way to achieve a lush, green lawn that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. Unlike seeding, which can take weeks or even months to establish, sod provides instant results, making it an attractive option for homeowners looking to improve their landscape quickly.

Moreover, sod helps prevent soil erosion, reduces heat, and improves air quality, contributing to a healthier environment. It also requires less water than seeding, making it a more sustainable choice for your lawn.

Cleanr Property Maintenance ensures customer satisfaction and attention to detail in their projects by emphasizing proper installation techniques, maintaining quality standards, and educating clients on the best practices for sod installation.

Cost of Sod Installation in Winnipeg

Factors that influence the cost of sod installation

The cost of installing sod in Winnipeg varies depending on a number of factors. These factors include:

The size of the project
The quality of the soil
Obstacles that might impede work (leading to more labour hours)
The amount of grading required
Whether or not existing lawn must be removed
Whether or not weeding is needed
The installation of additional features (sprinkler systems, etc.)

The size of the project plays an interesting role—larger commercial projects are typically more expensive in total (there’s more sod to be laid), but less expensive by square foot. Contact us for commercial rates in Winnipeg.

Average cost of sod installation in Winnipeg

For residential customers, the average cost of installing sod ranges from $3 to $6 per square foot. The variance is higher for commercial customers, but the costs tend to be lower (as commercial properties tend to be much larger).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for the sod to root?

Generally, sod takes about two weeks to root. During this time, you should water it frequently and take care not to step on it.

How often should I water my new sod?

We recommend watering twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Can I install sod myself, or do I need to hire a professional?

You can install sod yourself, but you might not like the results. Installing sod is complex—it takes expertise to do the job right.

Can I walk on my new sod right after installation?

We recommend waiting until your sod is fully rooted—usually about two weeks—before walking on it. If you need to walk on your lawn, try to walk along the perimeter.

How soon can I mow my new sod?

You can mow your new lawn once it grows out enough to be mowed—usually about a week—but if possible, we recommend waiting about two weeks until the sod is fully rooted.

How long does it take for the new sod to establish fully?

Sod takes 6 to 8 weeks to become fully established. When fully established, you can walk, run, and even use riding mowers on the grass.

How do I prevent weeds from growing in my new sod?

Proper maintenance, like regular mowing and not over-watering, can help prevent weeds. Weed control products can also assist, but use them carefully—you don’t want to damage your new lawn.
