Professional Sod Installation & Lawn Replacement
If your lawn is patch, full of weeds, or dead, seeding can take months to show results. Sod installation gives you a healthy, thick, and instantly green lawn. At CreekCare, we specialize in residential sod installation and lawn replacement for homeowners in Ottawa South Ottawa. Our hardworking student team handles all the heavy lifting, grading, soil prep, and laying to ensure your new grass takes root successfully.
The secret to a long-lasting lawn is proper ground preparation. We start by removing old turf, weeds, and rocks, and rototill the area. We then add a fresh layer of nutrient-rich topsoil, level and compact it slightly to prevent pooling water, and tightly lay premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod rolls. After rolling, we outline a watering plan to help you keep your new lawn thriving during the critical first few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water new sod?
New sod needs to be watered twice daily (morning and evening) for the first two weeks to ensure the roots establish securely in the soil.
Do you prep the soil before laying the sod?
Yes, we remove existing dead grass/weeds, rake and level the ground, lay fresh topsoil, and then lay down the new sod rolls.
Can I walk on the new sod immediately?
We advise avoiding heavy foot traffic on your new sod for the first 2 to 3 weeks until the roots have fully knitted into the ground.
