Why Choose Sod Over Seed?
Seeding is a gamble; Sod is a guarantee. In Quebec's short summer, waiting for grass seed to grow can take months of watering and weeding. With Sod (Tourbe), you get a mature, healthy lawn immediately.
Les Clôtures Duratech installs premium locally-grown sod (typically Kentucky Bluegrass blends) adapted to our climate. We don't just roll it out; we prepare the soil to ensure deep rooting and long-term health.
The Duratech Difference
It’s all in the prep.
Many companies simply lay grass over hard dirt. We know that 80% of a lawn's success is underneath.

Soil Enrichment
We recommend adding a layer of fresh topsoil or root-starter fertilizer to boost growth.

Seamless Seams
We tightly fit every roll to prevent drying at the edges.

Rolling
After installation, we roll the lawn to remove air pockets and ensure good soil contact.
Benefits of New Sod

Instant Curb Appeal
Increases property value immediately.

Erosion Control
Stops mud from washing away during rain.

Cooling Effect
A natural lawn is significantly cooler than pavement or bare dirt in summer.

Weed Defense
Dense sod chokes out weeds before they can start.

Maintenance Tips (Post-Installation)
Watering is Critical
For the first 14 days, the lawn must be kept moist. Water daily (morning is best).
Traffic
Keep pets and kids off the new lawn for 2 weeks to let the roots grab hold.
First Mow
Wait until the grass is about 3-4 inches tall (usually 2-3 weeks) and ensure it has rooted before mowing.
What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does sod installation cost?
Price is per square foot. It depends on the size of the yard and how much prep work (grading/soil adding) is needed. Contact us for a quick estimate!
When is the best time to install sod?
In Quebec, we can install sod from May to November. Spring and Fall are ideal because it's cooler and rains more, requiring less manual watering.
Can you install sod over my old grass?
No. The old grass will rot underneath and kill the new roots. We must strip the old lawn or till it under properly before laying new sod.
What kind of grass do you use?
We use premium Kentucky Bluegrass blends cultivated specifically for the Montreal/South Shore climate. It is durable, dark green, and winter-hardy.
