Sodding in Toronto: The Fastest Way to a Green, Healthy Lawn
If you're dealing with a patchy, weed-filled, or completely bare yard, sodding is one of the quickest and most effective ways to get a lush, green lawn — instantly. In a city like Toronto, where the outdoor season is short and first impressions matter, sod offers a fast-track to curb appeal. Here’s everything you need to know about sodding in Toronto — including when to do it, how it works, and why Oasis Lawns is the go-to team for the job.
LANDSCAPING TIPS


✅ What Is Sod?
Sod is pre-grown grass that comes in rolls or squares with a layer of soil and roots attached. It’s installed over prepared soil to create an instant lawn.
Unlike seeding, which can take weeks to fill in and months to mature, sod gives you a finished look the same day it’s laid.
🗓️ Best Time to Sod in Toronto
In Toronto’s climate, the best times for sodding are:
Spring (May–June) – Moist soil and cooler temps help roots establish quickly.
Fall (September–early October) – Great for root development before winter.
Sodding during hot summer months is possible too — but it requires more frequent watering in the first few weeks to ensure success.

We follow a professional, step-by-step process to ensure your new lawn thrives:

Roll and water to eliminate air pockets and help roots make contact

💧 How to Care for New Sod
Proper watering is key:
Week 1: Water 3x per day to keep sod moist
Week 2: Water 2x per day
Week 3: Water once daily in the early morning
Avoid heavy foot traffic for the first few weeks and delay mowing until the grass reaches 3.5–4 inches tall and has taken root.
