Paysagement Duguay provides sod installation services throughout Laval, Montreal and the North Shore. Whether your lawn has thinned out, your yard was left bare after construction, or you are starting from raw soil, our sod installation contractors deliver a finished lawn in a single day.

The quality of a new lawn depends far more on what happens before the sod arrives than on the sod itself — which is why levelling and soil preparation are part of every contract.

      Why choose sod over seed

      Sod gives instant results, resists weeds from day one, needs less water to establish than seed, and can be walked on within weeks rather than months.

      On a sloped lot it also holds the soil in place immediately, which seed cannot do before the first heavy rain.

      Lawn levelling and soil preparation

      Lawn levelling and sod go together. We remove the old turf, clear rocks and roots, correct the grade so water runs away from the house, then add and level topsoil to the depth the site needs.

      This is the step most often skipped by low bidders, and it is the reason some new lawns look uneven within a year.

      Our sod installation process

      New grass installation follows a clear sequence: excavation or stripping of the existing lawn, grading, topsoil, rolling, then laying the sod in staggered rows with tight seams.

      The sod is rolled again after installation to ensure full contact with the soil, and we brief you on the first two weeks of watering — the period that determines whether the roots take.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the best time to lay sod in Quebec?

      In Quebec, the best windows for sod installation are spring (mid-May to late June) and fall (September to late October). In Montreal, Laval, and across the North Shore, we typically start laying sod around May 10th. Both spring and fall offer ideal conditions for rooting. In summer, watering needs to be more attentive and consistent.

      How do you water newly laid sod?

      For the first two weeks, the sod needs to stay evenly moist throughout. That usually means watering every day at the start, then gradually pulling back on frequency as the roots take hold, shifting toward less frequent but deeper watering sessions.

      How high should I cut my lawn to keep it thick and healthy?

      We recommend keeping your grass at around 3 to 4 inches. That height protects the soil, helps retain moisture, and limits weed growth across your outdoor space. Two things to keep in mind: never cut more than one third of the blade at a time, and always use a sharp mower blade. Both make a real difference in keeping your lawn dense and healthy over time.
