What we do
Sod & Lawn Services in Toronto
Right On Sod does three jobs, and does them in the right order: we take out the old lawn if there is one, fix the grade, then lay fresh-cut sod. Each one has a published rate, so you can see a range before anyone visits. Pick the service that matches your yard below, or call and we will help you choose.

Our Sod and Grading Services
Sod Installation
For bare ground that needs a lawn: a new home, a rebuild that just got its final grade, a yard torn up by renovation work, or seed that never filled in. We clear the surface, do the basic soil prep and levelling, and lay fresh-cut Kentucky Bluegrass from Ontario sod farms. Rolls arrive when the crew is ready for them, and the crew waters the new lawn for its first soak before leaving. Most yards are done in a day or two, at $2.00–$2.50 per sq ft.

For a lawn that is past saving: thin, weedy, patchy, chewed up by grubs or worn bare by the dog. We strip the old turf, load it out and haul it away, prepare the soil underneath, then lay new sod in the same spot. It is the job to book when a front yard has looked tired for years or the house is going on the market. Replacement costs $3.00–$3.75 per sq ft, and taking away the old lawn is part of that rate.
Learn moreGrading & Levelling
Fresh turf takes on every dip and rise in the soil beneath it. Low spots that hold puddles, humps the mower scalps and a yard that tilts toward the house will all show through a new lawn within a season. We reshape the soil first, so the finished lawn sits flat and rain runs away from your walls. Grading is prep for sod, quoted per yard once we have seen it, and the calculator adds about $1.00 per sq ft as a guide.
