“The difference between a yard and a landscape is planning.” And a lot of sod. At Blaketon Road in Etobicoke, we took on a fast-paced landscaping transformation — 5,800 square feet of premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod laid down and looking lush, all in just two days. One crew. Zero shortcuts.
Not all sod is created equal. We used Kentucky Bluegrass sourced from Greenhorizons Sod Farms, known for producing dense, durable sod that thrives in Ontario’s climate. It’s soft underfoot, rich in colour, and built for long-term resilience. Whether you’re entertaining in the backyard or just want curb appeal that pops, Kentucky Bluegrass is the answer.
This wasn’t just a grass drop-and-go. Here’s a breakdown of what our crew did — and what you should expect if you’re planning a similar project:
Cleared out all existing grass and debris.
Tilled the soil — not just surface level, but deep enough to break up compaction and improve root penetration.
Brought in fresh topsoil for nutrients and better water retention.
Graded the land properly to prevent pooling and direct water away from the home.
Installed the sod tightly, row by row, with staggered seams to avoid gaps.
Rolled it for full soil contact — a critical but often skipped step.
Watered immediately, because time matters when you’re working with live grass.
We didn’t stop at the sod. We gave this property life — dimension — with carefully selected plants from Glen Echo Nurseries. The lineup included:
Hydrangeas for vibrant, seasonal color
Emerald Cedars to add privacy and vertical interest
Hostas for lush, low-light coverage
Sedums to bring in drought-tolerant texture
Time was tight, but we delivered. With a single crew of skilled laborers, we turned around a complete sod replacement and garden installation in 48 hours — with no disruption to the homeowners. No subcontracting chaos. Just careful planning and efficient execution.
