LandyMan Landscaping in Vancouver has earned a reputation for quality service and have grown as a result of many customer referrals. Commercial and residential properties with enough outdoor space for lawns and gardens might want to contact a professional lawn installation contractor so that they can get all of the installation, maintenance, and design services that are required.

There are 2 different types of grass installation methods used in Vancouver.

Sod Installation
We call this one “instant lawn”. Our crew will come in and clear the area where the sod needs to go, amend the soil, level and role it flat, fertilize, and lay the sod. The finished product is nice and level and gives a deep even green. There is no limit to the size or shape of yard we can do in this fashion. The lawn can be walked on right away but 3 weeks are recommended before heavy use takes place. Sod can be installed any time of the year in Vancouver. If the sod is installed after November 15th it will not root and can’t be used until spring.

Seed Installation
Seed lawns are less costly initially but will result in more work than a sod lawn. They do have advantage however.
They can adapt to the planting environment perfectly as the seed types that thrive in this certain environment will grow the strongest. For instance if you have a really shady spot seed is recommended over sod. In addition to this the initial cost is a bit less. There is a place for seed but we recommend sod for most of our customers as it is only slightly more costly and provides instant satisfaction. Unlike sod, seeds can’t be planted after the 15th of September and before spring. It takes anywhere from 3 months to 5 months to fully establish and the soil must be weed free before starting or weeds will come through. Once complete, it will give you a dense lush lawn that will be treated the same as a sod lawn.
