Lawn Installation (Sod) in West Island Montreal
A lawn is not just the finishing touch, it helps complete the entire property. At Construction OEM, we install sod with proper ground preparation, grading, and soil conditions so the surface looks clean, establishes properly, and performs well over time.
A lawn can completely change how a property feels. It softens the space, improves curb appeal, and creates a cleaner transition between hardscape, garden areas, and the home itself.
But a lawn only performs well if the groundwork is done properly. Poor grading, weak soil preparation, and drainage problems often lead to patchy growth, soft spots, uneven surfaces, and areas that struggle to establish. In West Island Montreal, moisture changes, runoff, and freeze-thaw conditions make proper site preparation even more important.
At Construction OEM, we approach sod installation with the same mindset we bring to the rest of the outdoor space. That means preparing the area correctly, shaping the grade for proper water movement, and installing the lawn on a surface designed to support healthier long-term results.

How we approach it
1. Site Review and Planning
We assess the area, existing grade, drainage behavior, and how the lawn should connect to the rest of the property. This helps identify low spots, runoff issues, and the level of preparation required.
2. Clearing and Ground Preparation
The area is cleared of debris, old grass, rocks, and unstable material. This creates a cleaner base for proper soil preparation and installation.
3. Grading and Soil Preparation
We shape the surface so water moves away from structures and does not collect in weak areas. Soil is spread, leveled, and prepared to support healthier rooting and a more even finished lawn.
4. Sod Installation
The sod is installed over the prepared surface with attention to alignment, tight seams, and overall consistency. The goal is a clean, even appearance from the beginning.
5. Settling and Surface Finishing
The newly installed sod is pressed and finished so it has better contact with the prepared surface underneath. This helps support more even establishment.
6. Initial Watering and Final Review
The lawn is watered immediately after installation and reviewed for consistency, coverage, and finish quality. Final guidance can be provided for early care and watering.
