Our job isn’t just to install landscaping — it’s to build the right foundation so your lawn lasts, your yard performs properly, and your outdoor space finally feels complete.
Sod & Landscaping Planned Together — Not Separately

Sod and landscaping should work together, not compete. At Oakly Landscaping, we plan lawn areas and planting zones at the same time so your backyard flows naturally and feels intentional.

Materials Used in Our Sod Installation
We exclusively install fresh-cut Kentucky Bluegrass sourced from a trusted Southern Ontario sod farm. Sod is cut daily, delivered in skids, and installed the same day to ensure maximum vitality, rich color, and strong root health. Known for its durability and thick coverage, it’s ideal for family backyards and high-traffic areas, with each pallet inspected for quality before installation.
We use only premium screened topsoil selected for its fertility, consistency, and compatibility with local sod. The soil is free of debris and clumps, spread evenly, and compacted with precision to create a smooth, level base. This provides the proper foundation for healthy root establishment and long-term lawn performance.

Landscape & Sod Installation - FAQs
When is the best time to install sod in Ontario?
The best time to install sod in Ontario is during spring, summer, and early fall when temperatures support healthy root growth. Proper preparation and watering are just as important as timing to ensure long-term results.
How long does sod take to root after installation?
Sod typically begins rooting within 10–14 days, with full establishment taking a few weeks depending on weather and care. During this time, consistent watering and limited foot traffic are essential.
Do I need new soil before sod installation?
In most cases, yes. Fresh, properly graded topsoil provides the foundation needed for healthy root establishment and long-term lawn performance. Installing sod over poor or compacted soil can lead to uneven growth.
What comes first — sod installation or landscaping?
Sod and landscaping should be planned together, but installation order depends on the layout. Hardscape and planting areas are typically completed first, followed by sod to ensure clean edges and a finished look.
How much does sod and landscape installation cost in Mississauga and Oakville?
Costs vary based on yard size, preparation needs, materials, and design complexity. Because every backyard is different, an on-site consultation is the best way to determine accurate pricing and scope.
Can sod be installed after pool removal or regrading?
Yes. Sod installation is often the final step after pool removal, regrading, or retaining wall work. Proper grading and soil preparation are key to achieving a smooth, usable lawn after structural changes.
How long does sod and landscape installation take?
Most sod and landscape installation projects can be completed efficiently, often within one to two days, depending on yard size and scope. Larger or more detailed projects may take longer.
Do I need a landscape design before installing sod and plants?
A landscape design is highly recommended, especially for full backyard renovations. Design planning helps define lawn areas, planting zones, and transitions so sod and landscaping work together as a complete layout.
What type of sod is best for residential front yards?
Kentucky Bluegrass is a popular choice for residential backyards due to its rich color, durability, and ability to recover from foot traffic. The best option depends on how the yard will be used.
How soon can I use my lawn after sod installation?
Light use is typically possible after a couple of weeks, once the sod has begun to root. Heavier use should wait until the lawn is fully established to prevent damage.
