What type of sod grows best in Calgary?
Kentucky bluegrass is the most dependable lawn choice for Calgary. It handles our dry climate, cold winters, and full sun conditions extremely well. It also recovers quickly from foot traffic and produces a thick, deep green lawn when watered and maintained properly.
When is the best time to install sod in Calgary?
The ideal sod installation periods are late April through early October, depending on weather. Spring and early fall offer cooler temperatures and more consistent moisture, which help the roots establish faster. Summer installation is also successful with proper watering.
How long does new sod take to root?
New sod typically begins rooting within seven to ten days and is usually fully rooted by two to three weeks. Proper watering is essential during this time. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the sod feels firmly attached to the soil.
How much watering does new sod need?
Do you handle soil preparation before laying sod?
Yes. Proper soil preparation is one of the most important parts of sod installation. We remove old grass, level and contour the site, add high quality topsoil, and grade for proper drainage before installing the sod rolls. This ensures strong root growth and a smooth, even lawn.
Can you install sod over an existing lawn?
No, Installing sod over an existing lawn is not recommended. The old grass must be removed so the new sod can make direct contact with the soil. Failing to remove the existing turf can lead to poor rooting, uneven areas, and long term lawn health issues.
How soon can I mow my new sod?
You can mow once the sod is firmly rooted, which is typically ten to fourteen days after installation. Set your mower to a higher cut for the first few mowings and never remove more than one third of the grass blade at a time.
Will installing new sod fix uneven or bumpy lawns?
Yes, as long as the ground is regraded beforehand. During installation, we level the soil, fill low spots, and correct grading issues. This creates a smooth, even lawn when the new sod is placed.
Does new sod come with any maintenance requirements?
Beyond watering, new sod benefits from:
- Limited foot traffic during the first few weeks
- First fertilizing after four to six weeks
- Regular mowing once established
Kentucky bluegrass responds well to consistent maintenance and will thicken over time.
How long does sod installation take?
Most Calgary yards can be completed within one day, including site prep and installation. Larger or more complex yards may take two days.
