When a homeowner in Hamilton decided it was time to remove their old above-ground pool and reclaim their backyard, Oakly Landscaping was hired to handle the heavy demolition and structural work. Once the pool, deck, and equipment were removed and the area was freshly backfilled and graded, it was The SodFather’s turn to bring the final vision to life with a clean, healthy lawn installation.

As the sod installation specialists brought in by Oakly Landscaping, our role was simple:
take a fully cleared, rough-graded yard and transform it into a smooth, beautiful, ready-to-use lawn — all in one efficient visit.

From Pool Removal to a Fresh Start

The project began with Oakly Landscaping completing the major preparation work. They handled the full demolition of the above-ground pool, dismantled the surrounding deck, disposed of debris, and reshaped the terrain with new soil and rough grading.

What remained was a large, open yard ready for the final stage — converting all that fresh soil into a lush, usable lawn. That’s exactly where The SodFather stepped in.

Because we were working on Oakly Landscaping’s project schedule, our team coordinated closely with theirs to ensure that sod installation happened at the perfect moment — immediately after the grading was completed. This kept the project moving efficiently and delivered the homeowner a fully restored yard without delays.

SodFather’s Professional Preparation

Before laying a single roll of sod, our team conducted a final grading check. Even with Oakly’s excellent groundwork, we always verify the surface for:

smoothness
proper water flow
correct slope
any remaining dips or inconsistencies

These final adjustments ensure the sod roots evenly and produces a seamless finish across the entire yard. Once the base was perfect, we moved into installation.

Premium Kentucky Bluegrass Sod Installation

For this Hamilton property, we installed fresh Kentucky Bluegrass sod — known for its deep colour, durability, and ability to thrive in Ontario’s climate.

Our process included:

• Fine-tuning the soil surface
• Installing the sod in a staggered pattern for strength
• Precision cutting along all edges and borders
• Rolling the lawn to ensure full root-to-soil contact
• Watering the entire area immediately after installation

The entire sod installation phase was completed efficiently within a few hours, giving the homeowner a fully usable outdoor space the same day.

The Final Result: A Clean, Usable, Beautiful Backyard

What began as a backyard dominated by an aging pool and deck became a clean, level, vibrant green lawn. The difference was immediate — the homeowner finally had a functional, beautiful outdoor area they could enjoy.

After the installation, we completed a full walkthrough and provided the homeowner with our Post-Installation Care Guide, giving them clear instructions for watering, mowing, and maintenance to ensure the lawn grows healthy and strong.
