Step 1: Site Assessment & Drainage Planning

We evaluate your soil quality, sun exposure, and current drainage. In the Lower Mainland, proper drainage is the difference between a lush lawn and a muddy swamp.

Step 2: Professional Ground Preparation

We don’t just cover up old problems. We remove old grass and weeds, excavate to the correct depth, and install a level, compacted base of premium “turf-blend” soil.

Step 3: Premium Sod Installation

Fresh-cut sod is carefully laid with tight seams and staggered joints, then rolled to ensure full soil contact and proper root bonding.

Step 4: Watering & Aftercare Guidance

Your new lawn is an investment. We provide clear watering and maintenance instructions to support healthy root establishment and long-term lawn performance.
