Sod installation in North York costs about $2.80 per square foot for a front lawn and $3.00 per square foot for a back lawn, fully installed. For a typical 1,000 sq ft GTA front lawn that works out to roughly $2,800–$3,000; a 2,000 sq ft front-and-back on a standard 40-foot lot runs about $5,600–$6,000. Our minimum project is $1,300.
| Lawn size | Installed price | Typical property |
|---|---|---|
| 500 sq ft | $1,400–$1,500 | Small front yard or a patch replacement |
| 1,000 sq ft | $2,800–$3,000 | Typical GTA front lawn |
| 2,000 sq ft | $5,600–$6,000 | Front + back on a standard 40 ft lot |
| 3,500+ sq ft | $9,800+ | Large corner lot or full-property resod |
Every price above is the installed price — it covers removing the old lawn, grading, fresh topsoil, fresh-cut sod and cleanup. It is not a materials-only number you add labour to later. Back lawns cost slightly more per square foot because access is tighter and everything moves by wheelbarrow. Steep slopes, poor drainage and narrow gates can move a quote up; easy open access can move it down.

Can you do a same-day lawn replacement in North York?
We’re Toronto’s dedicated sodding crew, and North York keeps us busy year-round. This is mature post-war suburbia with a huge amount of redevelopment — established lawns under big trees on one street, and brand-new lawns going in after teardown-rebuilds on the next. Most lots have driveways and good access, so we strip, prep, and re-sod most jobs in a single day.
From lawns ruined by grubs and drought to raw yards left after construction, we install premium sod cut fresh the morning of your job — Kentucky Bluegrass for open lots and a shade-tolerant fescue blend for the many tree-shaded yards.
Sodding North York: Mature Canopy and Rebuilds
Neighbourhoods like Willowdale, York Mills, Don Mills, and Bayview Village have an established tree canopy, so a lot of North York lawns sit in real shade over compacted clay. There we add fresh topsoil, work around mature tree roots, and install a shade-tolerant blend that fills in where pure Kentucky Bluegrass would thin out.
North York also has constant teardown-and-rebuild activity, and a new custom home almost always needs a brand-new lawn over disturbed, compacted ground. We bring in proper topsoil, grade for drainage away from the new foundation, and lay fresh sod to finish the property. Some lots back onto ravines, where we grade carefully to manage runoff.
