Sod vs seed: which is better for a new lawn in Ontario?

Sod gives you an instant lawn and establishes faster with less weed competition; seed is lower cost but takes longer and needs more care. For most homeowners who want green quickly, sod is the preferred choice. We do both; we also combine sod with patio and walkway projects so new hardscape is finished with a clean lawn edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sod installation in Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville.

How much does sod installation cost in Hamilton or Burlington in 2026?

In 2026, professional sod installation in Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville typically runs $1.80 to $2.75 per square foot installed, including sod, delivery, and labour. If the yard needs grading and topsoil, add roughly $0.80 to $1.50 per square foot for 3 to 4 inches of triple-mix topsoil. A standard 1,500 sq ft front lawn usually lands around $3,500 to $5,500 turnkey.

What type of sod do you install in the Golden Horseshoe?

We supply locally-grown Kentucky bluegrass blend sod from Zander Sod Co-Op and Greenhorizons Group, both Ontario growers. Kentucky bluegrass handles Hamilton and Halton winters, recovers well from foot traffic, and greens up in early spring. For heavily shaded yards we can switch to a fescue-bluegrass blend.

When is the best time to install sod in Ontario?

The two prime windows in Southern Ontario are mid-April through early June and mid-August through mid-October, when soil temperatures are 10 to 20 C. We install through summer with careful watering, but we avoid laying sod during July heat waves if the client cannot water twice daily. Sod harvest stops once ground freezes, usually mid-November.

Do you grade and prepare the soil before laying sod?

Yes. We strip old turf, grade for positive drainage away from the house (minimum 2 percent slope per OBC guidance), and bring in 3 to 4 inches of screened triple-mix topsoil before laying sod. Hamilton-area clay subgrade usually needs extra topsoil to establish a healthy root zone. Grading and sod can be quoted as a package.

How much water does new sod need in a Burlington summer?

For the first 14 days, new sod needs 1 inch of water daily, applied in two waterings (early morning and late afternoon) during hot stretches. Weeks 3 and 4, reduce to every other day. By week 5 to 6 the roots are established and normal weekly watering suffices. Skipping early watering is the top cause of sod failure in Burlington and Oakville.

Do you offer a warranty on sod installation?

We warranty our workmanship (grading, prep, and installation) for 1 year. The sod itself carries the grower guarantee (typically 30 days from delivery) provided the homeowner follows the watering schedule we supply. Seven Stones is a Landscape Ontario member, carries $5M liability and full WSIB coverage, and has been serving the Golden Horseshoe since 2013.
