Whitby Landscaping & Gardening will assist you with grass and lawn care rejuvenation.
The process begins with removal of existing dead or weed infested grass. The soil is removed from the property to a specified depth. Soil amendments are added such as triple-mix. Leveling and grading of the property to allow adequate water drainage is observed.
Laying of the sod by staggering it with each new row that the seams are offset from each other. Sod is cut around all interlock, driveway, and garden surfaces.
Watering thoroughly is the most important part of the development of the root system of your new sod lawn.
Mowing should be completed by one week after the installation. It is recommended that the lawn mower cutting height be adjusted to the highest position until the sod is fully rooted.
Kentucky blue grass is a cool season lawn grass. Bluegrass can be planted from seed or sodded and is one of the most popular turf grass lawns in Northern America. Bluegrass requires medium amounts of lawn care and makes beautiful home and sports grasses.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes, we provide regular lawn maintenance and fertilizing services. In addition to routine care, we offer a full suite of seasonal services to keep your property looking its best, including:
Seasonal Clean-ups: Spring and fall leaf and debris removal.
Lawn Restoration: Professional top-dressing and overseeding.
Sod Replacement: Complete removal of old turf and installation of fresh, high-quality sod.
A: We do not offer chemical weed spraying services. For specialized weed control and pest management, we recommend hiring a dedicated company with a professional pest control license, such as Trugreen or Weedman.
While we handle the physical side of lawn health—including mowing, fertilizing, and sod replacement—these licensed specialists are best equipped to handle the specific chemical treatments required for persistent weed issues.
A: On average, most sod replacement projects are completed in a single day. The exact timeframe depends on the size of the area and the amount of site preparation required (such as removing old grass or leveling the soil).
We use only premium local sod from Wintermere Sod Farm — one of the most trusted sod growers in Ontario. Their sod is cut fresh early in the morning on the day of delivery and delivered directly to your site, ensuring maximum freshness and the best possible rooting and growth. Please note that completion times may vary due to weather conditions or other external factors, as we want to ensure the ground is perfectly prepared for your new lawn to thrive.

A: At Whitby Landscaping, Gardening & Sod, we help homeowners choose the perfect timing for stunning, long-lasting results. Sod can be successfully installed anytime between May and November — the full growing season in Whitby & Durham Region. That said, fall is widely considered the ideal time: cooler temperatures and increased natural rainfall reduce stress on new sod, allowing roots to establish deeper and stronger with less watering effort from you.
Key advantages you get when you choose us:
- Winter weather is no problem — healthy, properly installed sod thrives right through the cold months.
- We avoid the real risks — most sod failures come from improper watering or cutting too short, not the season. That’s why every project includes our expert guidance.
- Premium quality every time — we use only top-grade local sod from Wintermere Sod Farm, cut fresh early in the morning and delivered directly to your site for maximum freshness and rooting success.
- Full support included — every sod replacement comes with our detailed Sod Care Guide PDF, packed with seasonal watering, mowing, and maintenance tips to keep your new lawn healthy and vibrant all year long.
