Sod Installation FAQs
How long does it take to install sod?
Most residential sod installations are completed in a single day. The timeline depends on your yard size and the amount of preparation work needed, but one of the biggest advantages of sod is the instant transformation. You can go from bare dirt to a beautiful lawn in just hours, not months.
When is the best time to install sod in Thunder Bay?
The ideal window for sod installation in Thunder Bay runs from late spring through early fall, typically May through September. This gives your new lawn enough time to establish strong roots before winter arrives. Early fall is particularly good because cooler temperatures reduce stress on the turf while the soil stays warm enough for root growth.
How do I care for new sod after installation?
Watering is the most critical factor in the first two weeks. New sod needs consistent moisture to establish roots, so plan to water daily or even twice daily during hot weather. After about two weeks, you can gradually reduce watering frequency. Avoid heavy foot traffic for the first few weeks, and wait at least two to three weeks before your first mow.
Why should I choose sod instead of seeding my lawn?
Sod gives you an instant lawn with no waiting, while seeding can take months to fill in completely. Sod also provides immediate erosion control, has fewer weed problems during establishment, and works well in areas where seeding has failed repeatedly. For Thunder Bay homeowners dealing with stubborn bare patches or wanting quick curb appeal, sod delivers results that seeding simply cannot match.
