Kentucky Bluegrass is by far the most popular type of sod in Winnipeg. With incredible winter hardiness and good drought tolerance, it grows well in almost any type of well-drained soil. Our sod is made up of 100% Kentucky Bluegrass in rich mineral soil.
Once your sod is installed, feel free to over seed with other types of grass. Some grasses that are complementary to Kentucky Bluegrass include Creeping Red Fescue and Perennial Ryeseed—they both grow wonderfully in Winnipeg, and seeding multiple grasses will make your lawn more resilient (and beautiful).

All Winnipeg Lawn Care Plans Include:
Site evaluation and measurement
Before ordering and installing the sod, we evaluate your property.
This process includes:
Accuracy is essential here—we use the total square footage to determine how much sod we need to order.
Soil testing and preparation
As part of our site evaluation services, we’ll test your soil to ensure that it’s ready for the sod. We’ll test your soil’s:
It is important to treat the soil underneath to promote healthier sod growth. While initial treatments are included during installation, additional fertilizer applied after a month can enhance results.
We’ll also prepare your soil, adding lime if it’s too acidic and sulphur if it’s too alkaline. When the soil is too dry, we recommend watering it for a day or two before the sod is installed.
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. Typically, we’ll lay sod late in the springtime; we recommend watering it twice a day, but here in Winnipeg, Mother Nature will often do the job for you in mid-to-late May.
You’ll want to mow your lawn about one week after it’s been installed. We’ll also give you recommendations for when to use fertilizer.

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.
