replaced our old lawn with all new sod

Our yard had not had much work for many years and as a result the lawn was non existent. They came early, removed all of the old lawn and replaced it with new topsoil and sod. The team were very polite, respectful, and efficient. were very happy with the work.

Hardscaping and lawn destruction

I hired Instant Lawns to install a new patio last year. They did a good job and were reasonably priced. However, in the process of stacking materials and sawing stone, they completely destroyed the lawn adjacent to the patio, which had been installed just a few months before. Despite many attempts to have them come back and fix the lawn, as they had promised to do ("we will leave your property in the same shape we found it in"), they never did. I was out of pocket several hundreds of dollars to have it fixed, but still to this date, it is nowhere being close to what it looked like before. Instant Lawns have simply ignored my calls, emails and texts. This unprofessional behaviour is not acceptable for a reputable company. Doing the job is not sufficient. Minimal after sale client attention is an absolute requirement, especially when damage to property has been done.

Lawn Replacement

The summer heat of 2018 completely destroyed our front lawn. We had Instant Lawns come in two weeks ago and within 1 week we now have a beautiful green lawn. From lawn removal to installation the work was perfect. Dealing with Jacob and his staff was a pleasure. We heartily recommend Instant Lawns.

I contracted with Instant Lawns in May 2018 to remove and replace my front lawn. I made a down payment of $430. It is now October 31st and Instant Lawns still hasn't fulfilled the contract. A lawn cutter did come a month ago but that was it. I have telephoned them and spoken to the receptionist asking that someone call me back to set a firm date for the replacement of the lawn but no one got back to me. I have also re-telephoned and left a message on their answering service to get back to me but still I have yet to hear from them. I am not a happy customer.

Needed a lawn in a Hurry!

We found a house we loved and needed to sell our house quickly, but our front lawn was a disaster. I needed a new lawn to restore our curb appeal so I called Instant Lawn and had it replaced 3 days later! Not only did they do a great job, but it was done in the unreasonable timelines I needed. Thank you Instant Lawn!!!

Top soil & seed job.

Instant Lawns was recommended by another large company that wasn't able to fit my job in on short notice. Jacob understood my need for a quick turn around and did just that. He had his guys here the following week and they did a great job of bringing the grade up to my newly installed interlock and paved laneway. A job well done:)

Artificial grass installation

From beginning to end, Instant Lawns provided outstanding customer service. Lucas and his team were a pleasure to deal with and the installation was meticulous.

I love my front yard and should have done it sooner!

I would strongly recommend Instant Lawns to anyone who is considering having new sod installed or for the more adventurous, artificial grass.

Amazing results

"WOW" is the only way to describe the results. From my first contact with the staff at Instant Lawn they have been professional and attentive to my requirements. They went above and beyond what I asked. Their attention to detail and their desire to please their clients surpassed all my expectations. Thank you Jacob and the rest of the staff for making this experience a pleasant and satisfying one. I would highly recommend Instant Lawn for your sodding and interlock needs. You won't be disappointed.
The "WOW" factor gets a 10 out of 10. Great job guys.

Landscaping Pry

Jacob and team finishes a landscaping project including significant debris removal, cleanup, rock beds/lining, grading and top soil. It was a large project (approx 90x140’) and they completed it in less than two work days. We were extremely pleased with the final results; the workers were very professional; and the price was very competitive (received 5 quotes in total). We also opted for a sprinkler system and hydroseeding from another company (NCI) and they coordinated/alligned their work accordingly. I would highly recommend their services.

Backyard regrading, sod, backstep, and pathway

Instant Lawns did a beautiful job, at a fabulous price, in just one day! The entire process from initial contact to project completion was less than a month (in the middle of the summer), and we were impressed with the professionalism and hard work of the entire IL team. We're already talking about what we'll get them to do for us next year.
