Back yard levelled and new sod installed

Lucas was most helpful and all dealings with this company were dealt with in a professional and courteous manner. The crew arrived early and were friendly and efficient, double-checking our wishes when necessary. They were respectful of our new drive and cleaned up after they had finished the work. We were left with clear instructions, which we followed to a tee, and love our back yard. Thanks guy for for a job well done!

We've already recommended them!

Front yard complete makeover

I got quotes from 5 different companies to re-sod our front lawn, and the decision to give the job to Instant Lawns was an easy one. They were always professional, on-time, and willing to extensively customize the job based on our changing needs. They are not just a lawn company, but also a full landscaping business, with extensive landscape design experience. That design knowledge came in handy when deciding how to modify our current layout while keeping the mature elements and staying within our budget. The crew that performed the work was second to none, and was joined throughout the day by the designer/estimator/co-owner. They completed the job in one day, as promised, and the result was exceptional.

Sod and Grading (French Drain)

My backyard had a major grading problem. Lucas and his entire team went above and beyond to help me. I am extremely satisfied with the finished product - even more with the French drain and attention to detail below to get the grading perfect.

I would highly recommend instant lawn.

Poor management from start to finish... not only was the scheduling process absolutely horrendous, but the delays after delays were more than I could handle. I'm also quite intrigued by the fact that the most recent 5 star google review is from one of their own employees, I know this because I just happened to be speaking to 'Dylan' during my installation (Let's see if his review is removed or name changed after my review is posted :P ). I hired them because of the abundance of good reviews over bad, but now I see that the reviews are not all honest reviews, who knows how many are faked? For a company that markets themselves as more professional than the rest of the contractors out there, they sure left me wishing I had gone with someone more professional.

replacing grass backyard with clover and sedum for maintenance free lawn

Very much appreciated that you offer alternatives to the traditional grass lawn. The installation was efficient & quick. Smart to have 7 workers come & complete everything in 1.5 hours which minimized neighbourhood parking challenges.

Lawn Replacement

Had a tired cinch bug weed covered lawn. From three quotes Instant Lawn was middle bid. Guys came when as scheduled in afternoon, pressed the job and got it done. With watering it took hold and looks great. Only two issues. First is we did not get the fertilizing treatment at 6 weeks. Second several sections of sod myst have been a little old as there were brown patches at end of each roll. 2.5 months out sod took very welk and looks great save 3 patches ill need to dress in spring. All said great crew, good reps, and great service (timely delivery and great cleanup). Would definitely use Instant Lawn again.

Thank you so much for the great and honest review Paul! Our apologies with the fertilization, we did have a small drawback with that this year which has since been resolved. Please let us know if you did not receive it, we aim to make good on all our contract details, so if it was missed, please let us know so we can take care of that for you first thing in the spring! Also please let us know how things develop next year, if there is any concerns that remain we will send someone out to take a look and develop an action plan with you to make sure your new grass thrives and looks amazing! Have an amazing winter :)
