Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to install a new lawn?
In Saskatchewan, early fall (mid-August to mid-September) offers cooler temperatures and reliable moisture. Spring installations work too but require diligent watering during summer.
How long before I can walk on new sod?
Light foot traffic is okay after 2–3 days; full use can resume in about two weeks once roots have anchored.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We guarantee that your new lawn or turf will be well established and free of major bare spots after 30 days. If issues arise, we’ll make it right at no extra cost.
