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.

✅ 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.

🔧 Our Sodding Process at Oasis Lawns

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

  1. Remove existing grass and weeds (manual or with a sod cutter)

  2. Grade and level the soil for proper drainage

  3. Add fresh topsoil to create a nutrient-rich base

  4. Lay premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod (locally sourced and grown for Toronto’s climate)

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

  6. Provide aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to keep your new lawn healthy

💧 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.
