Sod Installation in Edmonton
Sod Installation in Edmonton
Installing new sod should result in a strong, even lawn that performs well over time. That only happens when the base is prepared properly. Without the right soil depth, grading, and drainage, even high-quality sod can struggle to establish.
At Serene Landscaping, we install fresh sod for new lawns and full turf replacements across Edmonton and nearby communities. We focus on preparation first, because that foundation determines how well your lawn takes root.
Whether your project follows final grading on a new build or replaces worn-out grass, we build a proper soil base so roots establish quickly and grow consistently.
Get StartedFresh Sod for New Builds and Lawn Replacements
Many projects follow final grading, but we also replace existing lawns, correct uneven yards, and rebuild lawns that never properly took. We walk the property with you to review drainage, access, and preparation needs before installation. That planning step helps keep the process smooth and avoids unexpected issues.
Our Sod Installation Process
A healthy lawn starts below the surface. We install 4–6 inches of screened topsoil, grade and roll it smooth, then lay a Kentucky bluegrass blend the same day it is cut. Seams are staggered like brickwork and fitted tightly, because gaps dry out and leave visible lines.
- Site Walk + Plan: We confirm grading, drainage, access, and the right installation approach for your yard.
- Base Prep: We level and roll the topsoil, correct low and high spots, and cut clean edges along patios and garden beds.
- Sod Layout: Tight seams, staggered joints, and clean edges help reduce drying and shrinkage.
- Roll + Water: We roll the sod for full soil contact, then provide a clear watering plan.
