Sod Calculator
Enter the total area you want to sod. We'll calculate the sod, topsoil, starter fertilizer, and everything else you need for a successful install.
10% extra sod: We include a 10% overage to account for cutting waste around curves, beds, and edges.
Topsoil: Skip if your existing soil is already level and loamy. Most Ottawa-area properties have heavy clay and benefit from 4" of screened topsoil.
Sod staples: Only needed on slopes, edges along driveways, and areas prone to shifting. Flat lawns may not need them.
Skip the hard work — our crew handles old lawn removal, soil prep, grading, sod delivery, installation, and cleanup.
Includes: standard excavation, soil prep, delivery, and installation. Estimate may vary 10-15% based on site access, grading, and conditions.
