The best time to plant a new lawn in Vancouver is April through October. This doesn’t mean you cannot plant from November until March. You can plant a new lawn all year round.

Why is April through to October the best time to plant new sod?

The sod will have a chance to root in immediately. This process normally takes about 7-10 days during growing season (April – October).

There is no real chance of frozen ground. Installing sod when the weather is below freezing is impossible, the rolls of sod cannot be harvested or unrolled and the ground must be thawed before installing a new lawn.

It’s nice to work outside in moderate weather. Normally during this time period we can catch a break from the rainfall, installing sod on muddy ground is difficult work.

What about installing turf in August and hot summer months?

No problem, just be around to water the lawn for the next 2 weeks. Lawn irrigation systems work best for larger areas when installing a new lawn in summer. Recently, Municipalities have increased taxes for water usage by way of permit requirements for lawn watering. The current watering restrictions do not allow for enough water while the new sod is rooting thus a watering permit is required.

What happens if I install my new lawn in winter months?

When you install a new lawn in winter, the sod may slowly root in when we have temperature increases but do not expect much growth during this time. The chances of the sod not rooting at all may be likely in shaded areas, use caution when planting a lawn in shaded areas during any month. Winter will have negative effect of thinning out your lawn, some grasses will not survive winter and will need to be re-seeded come spring.

Why is my neighbour installing a new lawn in December?

Sounds crazy, but it happens. Your neighbour is probably trying to complete his reno / build project and obtain his occupancy permit from the municipality or get money back from them. 

Planting sod in winter may be a better option than leaving the ground bare and having a huge weed problem in early spring. Weeds seem to grow faster and at all seasons, leaving the ground bare may surprise you come spring with a huge prep job that could cost much more.

Will frost damage the new lawn?

Frost and cold temperatures itself will not damage new sod. If you use the area for walking or playing, do not use the area while frozen. Walking on frozen grass doesn’t do the plant any good.

Please consider how much turf you can put into your vehicle, driving with heavy loads may be dangerous. Each roll of sod may weigh 25-75lbs. depending on the weather.

Our turf rolls are delivered fresh to our job sites or cut daily from the turf farm, turf is a perishable product and must be unrolled within 2-3 days during normal weather and less than 24 hours in hot weather conditions. 

Sod rolls will start to decompose if left rolled up and will not be usable, be sure you are buying fresh turf rolls especially in hot weather.

Before buying sod rolls for your lawn

Before installing new grass you should prepare your ground and apply a root starter fertilizer. A good new turf fertilizer to help establishmentis a 10-30-10 type product.

Ensure that the new turf will be planted on a good quality soil. Turf type soil is available from BC Intant Lawns in Vancouver, we can ship directly to you.

After installing your new turf, apply water and maintain moisture in the sod until the roots have taken to the soil. Under normal growing condtions this will take 10-14 days for the turfgrass to take.

When can you install sod in Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond, Delta or BC?

Turf can be installed year round in the Vancouver area. When its icy and cold we prefer to wait until it warms up a bit. We cannot harvest the turf when the ground is frozen or under water.
