From Alta Vista to Westboro and Kanata, CleanYards installs sod that accounts for the capital region's varied terrain and growing conditions across Ottawa's diverse neighbourhoods.
Ottawa's Zone 5a climate gives newly installed sod a tight window for root establishment before the first hard frost in mid-October. Older neighbourhoods like the Glebe and Alta Vista often have compacted soils under aging lawns that need thorough grading and soil prep before fresh sod can take hold. Newer subdivisions in Kanata and Orleans typically have thinner topsoil spread over construction fill that requires amendment to give sod the root environment it needs. Our crews grade, prep, and install based on what your specific property demands.

Ottawa's older urban core often sits on heavy, compacted subsoil that drains poorly, while suburban developments further out tend toward sandy fill. Your sod prep needs to match the ground underneath, not follow a generic template.
We install sod across all of Ottawa's major residential zones on scheduled routes. Volume purchasing from local sod farms means competitive material pricing for Ottawa homeowners.
Ottawa's ideal sod installation window runs from early May through mid-September. Spring installs benefit from natural rainfall, while late-summer installs need consistent watering through the rooting period before freeze-up.
Complete sod installation services for Ottawa homeowners. From soil prep to final cleanup, handled by one trusted team.
Complete tear-out and replacement for aging Ottawa lawns. We remove old turf, grade the base, amend the soil, and install fresh sod for a finished look in a single day.
Targeted sod patches for damaged sections caused by Ottawa's heavy salt use, tree root heave, or summer drought stress. We match sod type to your existing lawn.
Builder-grade lots in Kanata and Orleans often need proper topsoil before sod goes down. We add the soil depth that builders skip and install sod that actually roots.
Ottawa's compacted subsoil needs careful grading for drainage. We regrade problem areas, add screened topsoil, and create the level base that gives sod the best start.

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!

Rooting typically begins within 1 to 2 weeks and strengthens over the following weeks. Watering consistency and weather conditions affect timing. We provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to Ottawa's conditions with every installation.
We install sod across Ottawa every week during the growing season, so our crews know the soil conditions neighbourhood by neighbourhood. We carry proper insurance, source sod from local farms, and include full site prep in every installation, not just rolling out turf on unprepared ground.
