Barrhaven homeowners in Longfields, Chapman Mills, and Half Moon Bay come to CleanYards when their builder-installed lawns start thinning, browning, or losing ground to weeds.
Many Barrhaven lawns were laid on minimal topsoil over compacted construction subgrade, a cost-saving measure that catches up within three to five years as roots hit the hard pan and grass thins out. Full lawn replacement in Barrhaven typically involves adding screened topsoil to the depth that builders originally skipped, proper grading for surface drainage away from foundations, and fresh sod installed on a base that will actually sustain a healthy lawn long-term. Our crews handle the entire process in a single visit for most properties.

Barrhaven's flat subdivisions were built on former farmland, but the topsoil was scraped during development. What's left under most lawns is compacted subgrade that needs amendment before new sod can establish strong roots.
We install sod on multiple Barrhaven properties every week during peak season. Efficient routing and bulk sod purchasing keep our per-project costs competitive for this community.
Barrhaven's exposed, treeless lots dry out quickly in summer heat. Sod installed after July needs diligent watering, often twice daily for the first two weeks, to establish roots before the soil surface bakes hard.
Complete sod installation services for Barrhaven homeowners. From soil prep to final cleanup, handled by one trusted team.
Complete replacement of failed builder-grade Barrhaven lawns. We add the topsoil depth that was missing from day one and install sod on a growing medium that actually works.
Targeted patches for high-traffic areas, salt-damaged edges along driveways, or bare spots where builder sod never took. We blend new sod seamlessly with existing turf.
First-time sod for Barrhaven new builds. We install proper topsoil depth and grade for drainage before laying sod, giving your lawn the foundation builders typically don't provide.

This has been my first year with CleanYards and Sebastian. I have been more than pleased with the work he has done for me. The yard maintenance and the fall clean up have been done very well, much better than I could do myself. I look forward to next Spring when I can have Sebastian do more jobs for me.

Recently had new sod installed. Sebastien and Andre were friendly and helpful in helping me understand the work they would be doing, did a fantastic job, provided a helpful guide and an open channel of communication on advice for future care, and all at a good price. Would recommend Sebastien's business to anyone!
