The Gold Standard

Our Sod Installation Guide

Growing a lawn from seed takes patience, effort, and the right weather conditions. Why not get a great-looking lawn now with sod installation from Right On Landscaping INC?

Step 1

1. Old Sod Removal

Using our sod cutter we remove 2’’ of old sod (included in price).
We do not rototill. Rototilling mixes the old weeds into the new soil creating a high chance of them coming back.

Step 2

2. Soil Installation

Supply and install up to 3’’ of screened topsoil. It is packed with the right stuff to keep your lawn looking its best!

Step 3

3. Sloping/Grading

Remove any lumps and bumps to ensure your new lawn is at and has the best grade for your yard.

Step 4

4. Fertilize

Apply turf starter fertilizer.
This will help promote initial root growth.

Step 5

5. Sod Installation

Supply and install 100% Kentucky Blue grass sod. Cut fresh from the sod farm the morning of installation. It is very important to install it within the first 12 hours.

Step 6

6. Roll New Sod

Roll your lawn using our 400lb roller to both compress the sod to the soil and to remove any air pockets, smoothing out any bumps along the way.

Step 7

7. Watering Lawn

Water your lawn using the homeowner’s water. One time after installation. The first watering is the most important.

Step 8

8. Sod Warranty

We offer a 100% guarantee that your sod will grow, and if any pieces die due to being unhealthy, we will come back and replace them. Free of charge.

After contacting the company Evan/Right On Landscaping quickly made contact with me and we arranged a time for a visit/quote to be created. I asked for 2 options and both were given. After choosing the best fit for me and m budget, the lawn repair dates were quickly arranged with minor adjustments needing to be made due to Mother Nature's impact. Communications were quick and clear, and everything went very smoothly and exceeded my expectations. I won't know if the repair job really "takes" most likely until next spring when the lawn shows its "health" but I am very satisfied with the job that was done in October 2025.

I contacted Evan and he arrived quickly to quote replacing our sod on our front lawn and back garden, about 2,800 square feet. We have had it done a couple of times (by other companies) in the last 25 years and Evan’s professionalism and expertise were outstanding. He levelled our lawn beautifully, used high quality top soil and we have two amazing lawns to show for it. He asked questions along the way as to exactly what we wanted, were we happy with the levelling, edging, etc. Our neighbours were so impressed he’s doing three of their lawns as a result. These photos were taken today, exactly 7 days ago.

Evan and Julian did an amazing job with our stair system, retaining wall and stone around the driveway. They were punctual, Evan’s communication was great and he offered a fantastic price. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping work.

Evan did an Amazing job with our front and back yard. New sod in front and back, new mulch, garden edging, removed a very invasive bush that was popping up all over through the root system. Planted some new bushes I picked out, graded the whole area and built a stunning stone patio to solve our issue of having a very small deck prior. This was all done under the price that was quoted to us to just rip out and redo a bigger wooden deck. We couldn't be happier!
12/10 would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smoothest renovanation I've done. Right On replaced the fence in the back and laid sod on the whole property. Very pleased with the results.
Evan coordinated everything with the neighbors who were involved with the fence. The crew are friendly and reliable
They are definitely skilled professionals. They quickly and efficiently completed the project.
I would highly recommend them. I've included some photos of the fresh sod, and new fence.
