 Have you noticed our grass-covered van? Take a picture, link it to us – and we will send you a $15 Starbucks card! Hurry – we
only have 40 cards to give away
For the past few months, our beloved grass-covered van has been roaming the streets of Toronto and the GTA, taking our crew from one Sodding
project to another. Noticeable as it is, we got a lot of (positive) comments from people spotting it all over the place.

The Ontario Pesticide ban (which we passionately embrace) has one unfortunate side effect – the unstoppable spreading of Dandelions
and other weeds. Back at the day, it was so easy to call any lawn-care company, and with a few quick and inexpensive applications, the nature
was altered and perfect lawns were easy to create and maintain. [Read

 Your Sod is
a living organism, that in order to remain green, strong, and healthy requires constant (and balanced) supply of nutrients and
water. They key to successful lawn lies in the soil upon
which it grows. Over the course of the season, the grass roots draw the nutrients they need from the soil, and constant replenishing of these
nutrients is required to keep your lawn green and healthy. In addition, parts of the lawn may get damaged due to increased traffic, or close
proximity to nutrient- draining plants and trees.
Spring is a wonderful time to replenish the soil and repair the damaged parts – as during this time root development and growth is accelerated,
rain is abundant, and temperatures relatively mild – perfect conditions for top dressing and overseeding. [Read

Raccoons considered a Canadian animal, and are mainly found
throughout
Southern Canada. As cute as it may seem, it is a wild animal, and when adjusting to city
life – it doesn’t always gets along well with humans and their needs… In our Sodding service
work, we come across Raccoons often times, and we know,that underestimating its abilities can result in extensive
damage.
When sod is laid, the fresh
soil underneath coupled with high levels of moisture (new sod needs to be watered 2-3
times a day during the first weeks) attracts worms and grubs (delicacy for Raccoons) to the top of the surface – right under the sod.

Creating a new lawn is similar to building a house in one crucial aspect. You start withthe
foundation. The better your foundation is, the longer you are going to enjoy your new home. At the heart (or… under the surface?) of
each lawn is the soil upon which it grows. The health, quality and the color of your new lawn depends on the type of soil you use. In our Sodding
projects, we always use Grow-Max, as it offers unparalleled result and quality. [Read

 As our little company is growing and maturing, we have decided that it is imperative that we had a blog of our own.
Summer
2010 marks our 6th year in business. As our team sat down one wintry
night to plan the upcoming season, we all agreed that having an open communication channel with our clients, where we can provide timely
and valuable information and address various concerns will be of value to our clients and their friends. A blog was an obvious part of the
plan. [Read more...]
